What Causes Random Bruising On The Legs While On Metoprolol?
Hello - I had stints put in for my legs and was started on Metoprolol TAR 25 mg twice a day. Since I started taking it, I am continue to find bruises for no reason - never bruised before. Then if I scratch something, I will start bleeding more than I should. I also had a broken blood vessel in my hand last week - it numbed my finger and when I looked,my knuckle area was bruised and turned my hand over and had a small round bruise on the palm just below my finger. Yesterday, I felt like I had a piece of lint in my eye and rubbed it a lot. I got up at 4 am to go to the restroom and my eye had a large broken blood vessel that was covering almost half the white of my eye - since is clearing. Any thoughts?
