Hello Cmnixhp,
This is fairly typical. Keep in mind that while you are on the coumadin your risk of bleeding goes up (since it s an anti-clotting medicine). If you fall and have any significant trauma you may develop large bruises. If you hit your head you should be aware of signs if intracranial bleeding to watch for including
headache,
nausea/
vomiting, and changes in mental status. If any of these appear you should be seen immediately.
Best wishes.
