yeah, this is definitely something better off in the hands of a doctor

in the meantime, maybe vitamin k can help? it helps with bleeding (nosebleeds, gums, etc.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_K

definitely research to see if it won't make it worse, but this paragraph sounds interesting relating to your problems: (bolding mine)

Deficiency

Average diets are usually not lacking in vitamin K, and primary deficiency is rare in healthy adults. Newborn infants are at an increased risk of deficiency. Other populations with an increased prevalence of vitamin K deficiency include those who suffer from liver damage or disease (e.g. alcoholics), cystic fibrosis, or inflammatory bowel diseases, or have recently had abdominal surgeries. Secondary vitamin K deficiency can occur in bulimics, those on stringent diets, and those taking anticoagulants. Other drugs associated with vitamin K deficiency include salicylates, barbiturates, and cefamandole, although the mechanisms are still unknown. Vitamin K1 deficiency can result in coagulopathy, a bleeding disorder.[64] Symptoms of K1 deficiency include anemia, bruising, and bleeding of the gums or nose in both sexes, and heavy menstrual bleeding in women.

Osteoporosis[65][66] and coronary heart disease[67][68] are strongly associated with lower levels of K2 (menaquinone). Vitamin K2 (MK-7) deficiency is also related to severe aortic calcification and all-cause mortality.[69] Menaquinone is not inhibited by salicylates as happens with K1, so menaquinone supplementation can alleviate the chronic vitamin K deficiency caused by long-term aspirin use.[citation needed]




of course, a doctor might help you figure out if it's really some vitamin deficiency or something more complex, so, um, yeah

at the moment i am thinking i'll be taking potassium due to its blood clotting, but i don't eat a lot of leafy greens so if that doesn't work i'll have to look into vitamin k.

given all the people who have recommended a doctor i think i'm definitely going to be making an appointment for next week.
