What causes gum bleeding and broken veins on thigh?
Patient: I am prescribed ramipril on 1.25 starting dose, and have noticed a slight increase in bleeding gums when I brush my teeth. Theres also some redness on my inner thighs. I am being assessed for TIA possible occurence, and have also been on a strict low salt diet. I have some bleedng of gums and broken veins on thighs already. Doctor: thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the bleeding gums could be because of the deposits causing infection of the gums. or if you are atking any drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel then there are chances of increased bleeding tendencies and ecchymosis over the thigh region. consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned and you have to get a complete hemogram with INR done. later consult a cardiac physician. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
