I seem to bruise easily these days. Am I deficient in something or is it an age thing? TIA

do you take aspirin ?
How old are you? It could be a number of things but getting older doesn't help, as I know :o(
I agree with the post of Buenchico and anneasquith makes a good point.

However, if you are feeling "out of sorts" at the moment, perhaps a little tired or short of breath, then a simple blood test by your GP will reassure you that all is well.
