Hi,
How are you? Are there other symptoms present? Easy bruising  may be attributed to aging capillaries, thinning skin, or effect of certain medications and supplements. Symptoms that you should watch out for and warrants further evaluation by your doctor include unusually large or painful bruises that develop for no known reason, presence of easy bruising and abnormal bleeding elsewhere ( nose, gums or intestinal tract), suddenly begin bruising (especially if you recently started a new medication) and develop bruising during an illness in addition to fever or confusion. These may indicate low levels of or abnormally functioning platelets. Hair loss could result from stress, illness or underlying medical conditions also. Have this checked by your doctor for proper evalaution. Take care and do keep us posted.

Sounds like you need to make an appointment with a doctor. It could be nothing. Honestly they may not think a second thought about loosing hair ( I know my dr didn't when I talked to her about it- which she said is because many many things can cause it and it's only worrying if it keeps happening). However frequent, random bruising is cause for concern and you need to talk to a dr. about. It may be you're just taking too many aspirin or ibuprofen however it's important to make sure you haven't become anemic.  Your hair loss may or may not be caused by the same thing. Personally I was loosing large chunks 1-2mm in diameter each day for 6 months before I was put on a thyroid medicine. So it took a lot of hair loss for a doctor to be concerned about it.
