It may also cause an issue with bruising - both randomly and after blood tests. If bleeding after blood tests is a problem, press very firmly for as long as possible on the site, and ask the nurse to cover the site with cotton wool/gauze and tape, rather than a plaster; it provides more pressure and absorbency. If you find bruising is becoming a problem, taking an ice-pack with you for after blood tests can be really useful to prevent swelling/bruising. Or just go home an stick a bag of frozen peas on your hand. Or, if all else fails, you have no ice pack and a bruise is forming, get an ice cream from the hospital canteen/shop to use as an ice pack.
