Are you talking about APTT, PPT & BT/CT, well they are inherent bleeding factors an elevation can result in severe bleeding.
If Aspirin is taken with the above abnormalities in blood, it can increase the bleeding time and clotting time and acute emergency crisis can result.
Rule out any medication which increases/influence the above tests.
Liver diseases and lack of Vitamin K can result in the above castrophe.

PTT means "Partial Prothrombin Time". The amount of time it takes your blood to clot.
It could be many things. It would be best if your asked your doctor what he suspects, if anything.
If you are on any type of blood thinner, even aspirin or vitamin E, it can increase the time it takes for your blood to clot. People who are on blood thinners normally bruise easier.

Do you take a lot of aspirin or other medications containing blood thinners? Have lupus? Have another blood disorder like Factor deficiency?

Asprin is a known blood thinner. Do you take a lot of aspirin? Also eatig habits could be a factor. You need to get more iron into your system. Try eating more greens like spinach, for iron.

Could have an abnormal clotting factor if you are not on anticoagulants. If you are on anticoagulants then your med needs to be readjusted.
