Bruising and Bleeding

For several years I have taken only a baby aspirin to thin my blood because of a heart attack that I had 12+ year ago; consequently, I bruise and bleed easily and sometimes my arms look like I have dark tattoos on them.  Even though these bruise clear and disappear in a couple of weeks, they easily return.

My last visit to the Cardiologist resulted in him removing the baby aspirin from my list of meds and adding the blood thinner XARELTO because of my recent bout with SEPSIS which caused me to experience AFIB...  and, now I am predisposed to experience FIB but because I did not feel any of the symptoms of AFIB, it would be easy for me to have a STOKE because I did not feel the AFIB...

My health situation always seems to be deteriorating even though in some areas I have stabilized...  like the stints in my 3 heart arteries have been there for over 12 years have worked perfectly.  My hernia operation have given me no problems.  My cancers have stabilized and my thyroid is now functioning properly...
