What Do Bruises On The Leg Indicate?
I have 2 bruises on my leg one very big and one smaller (but still big) they have been there for about 7/8 wks now and dont hurt. The big one feels quite hard. My doctor just said come back if they aint gone in a few wks. Iv also been getting heart palptations almost every day and passed out last wk through like a panic attack kind of thing. Im not sure if there related at all and i have been under alot of stress lately. Any info would be great, thank you in advance, emma.

Bruises appearing without any external injury signifies some sort of internal bleed .it can happen due to some underlying cause which has affected your platelets . If you have passed out then you must have a check of your heart too. Stress is never good for health so do some relaxation exercises to keep it check. You must go back to your physician and if you are on any particular medication..you must ask your doctor if stopping that can help you.
