I'm a bit puzzled about my platelet count; its consistently between 60,000 and 70,000. Honestly, I feel great, and Ive never had any illnesses like dengue or fever, and I dont take any medications. Im curious why my platelets would be below the minimum range if Im not experiencing any health issues. Could there be something else affecting it that I'm not aware of?

Low platelet count (60K-70K) can occur due to various reasons, even if you're feeling fine. It could be related to factors like genetics, mild immune issues, or your body's natural variation. It's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough check-up to rule out any underlying causes.

I've been noticing some random bruising on my left leg and other areas of my body, and there's no pain or any injury that I can think of. They just show up without any warning. I'm also experiencing delayed periods and was wondering if these might be related in some way? On top of that, I've been diagnosed with vertigo. Could there be any connection between these symptoms? It's all starting to worry me a bit.
