I wake up with bruises on my body?!
Question: ok this is it:
i went to sleep one day. everything was fine, had a scary dream and woke up in the middle of the night. i felt pain but thought nothing of it, when morning came i was bruised all over my stomach and chest. so i thought i was scratching or bumping into the wall while sleeping. so i sleep and had my gf sleep next to me. she is a light sleep. she didnt wake up once and when i woke up i had marks, so its not from scratching or anything. (that night i had a bad dream also)
ok so i thought its from bad dreams. the next few weeks i didnt have any bad dreams, but i still woke up with bruises all over my hands, stomach, chest, and legs. i mean bruises bruises like a hard hit..and it hurts to touch it.
i went to a doctor and he didnt believe me. thought i got beat up and kept asking me about it. but i didn't!! so whats going on? and i really need to know how to stop it, am i getting beat up in my dreams and i cant remember it, and thats why i get marks??

Explore all other options before you start thinking that you're getting beat up in your dreams. Find a doc who'll believe you. Maybe see a specialist? A hematologist, since it's blood we're dealing with. Here's a short article I found about bruises:
HealthDay Health Tip: Bruises May Signal Health Problems
When they are cause for concern

(HealthDay News) - While bruises are a common result of minor injury, frequent or easy bruising may signal a more serious health problem.
Here are warning signs, from the University of Cincinnati's Net Wellness program, that you may need to discuss your tendency to bruise with your doctor:
If you bruise often without a significant injury, or you can't remember how you got bruised.
If frequent bruises include raised lumps.
If you get frequent, excessive nosebleeds.
If you have abnormally heavy menstrual periods.
If you had excessive bleeding after surgery or childbirth.
If you have a family history of bleeding disorders.
I've included another article below. Hope you get some answers soon!
used to happen to me, start getting more iron. i used to wake up with all these weird bruises, and i never moved in my sleep. whenever you turn over or put pressure somewhere you will get a bruise because of the lack of iron.
are you taking anything that might thin your blood aspirin or anything?that will do it to you & so will taking alot of fish oil
maybe video tape ur self and if u wake up w/ the bruises then just watch the tape
