[morbidology]

Petechiae represent multiple pinpoint areas of bleeding. They are not specific for asphyxia deaths, but are frequently present in certain types of asphyxia.

One unexpected side effect from the gastroscopy/dilation treatment session yesterday: more hypermobility/probably-EDS related fun with petechiae down this arm and hand! 🙃

Mostly on the back, for whatever reason. They're not showing up great in this lighting, and they actually looked worse/brighter red last night.

My best guess is that this came from the periodically auto-inflating blood pressure cuff, which felt pretty aggressively tight and stayed on there a good while because that was a longer session yesterday.

It was immediately very visible afterwards, and nobody has seemed to notice, or at least found it remarkable enough to say anything about it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it is listed as a potential side effect, but it’s not a super common one. if there’s nothing in your labs that gives a different reason for it, that seems a reasonable explanation for it.
