Hi, Guy.

I do not understand how excessive sun exposure could possibly have any bearing on easy bruising. Your aspirin could be contributing since that is how it works: it makes the platelets less sticky so the normall clotting mechanism no longer is as efficient at plugging up the tiny leaks that happen to our blood vessels every day. This could also be contributing to the eye problem which is not a concern although it looks very bad.

If I were you, I would start reversing WHY you have a problem with the blood vessels in your heart rather than just covering up the warning lights on your dashboard with your medications (see the note today about coronary artery disease). Until you have actually reversed the causes (about 6 months of the Pritikin Program or Ornish Program I have basically outlined above) you need to continue treating your syjmptoms conventionally.

In the meantime, you might strengthen your capillary walls by taking at least 3000 milligrams of pure bioflavinoids a day. There is no way that this can harm you or interfere with your medications.

Let us know how you do.
