Perimenopause - bursting blood vessels?

Posted , 7 users are following.

Has anyone noticed blood vessels bursting for no reason?  I have one on my thumb today and not sure how I did it.  Is this another random symptom?

    Yes!!  In my eye.    I have seen this in older people but 2 days ago somehow a blood vessel popped.   It doesn't hurt or cause vision problems but my eye is all red.   I was at the store today and just happened to check my blood pressure and it is HIGH!!!   I've never had high blood pressure.   So I'm sure it's related to hormones--  I've been tired, weak and my appetite is not the same.   I exercise and mostly eat healthy so just another thing to keep tabs on.   It's the holidays but I'm not overly stressed so who knows..

    If I bump or scratch my left arm I get big purple red marks. Only seems to be my left arm.

      My mom is like that and my gma was too.  I don't think there's much we can do about thinning skin?

      Hi yes.. first was my finger.. then a few weeks later it was my eye.. i also had the same thing in my shoulder.. same pain   sharp sting.. but i think it was right in the joint as never had any bruising was just sore for a few days.  Then nothing.. i had it before about a year early just didnt twig what it was.  Its not skin related its a weakness in the fine blood vessels. There is a link between blood vessels and estrogen so it does make sense that they would be more delicate while going through peri and menopause.  Not had an issue for a few years now .

      It hurts so bad.  I can't even use it.  It is very tender

    When I was in the hospital a blood vessel popped on my finger. It hurt like a dickens. Anyhow, when I showed it to the nurse, he said, it's good it popped there and not in your heart or your brain. So, that was about a year ago, I immediately started taking a baby aspirin to thin out my blood, but now I've gone natural taking K2, over the baby aspirin.

      I never started taking it and I haven’t had another one.    I wonder if I should be taking a baby aspirin though
