Why does my hemoglobin, RBC, and platelet count, remain low?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I received my CBC report today, and my blood platelets have increased from 100,000 to 135,000 in three days. I do not have fever, and I am eating and drinking well. The only issue is that I feel chills. Could this chill be due to low platelets? Despite this, I am performing 3 rounds of push ups (15 each) with 30 second rest. Please advise if the chills are related to platelet count.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently got my blood report, and it shows that my platelet count is 100,000. However, I am currently feeling completely normal. I am a bit confused and concerned about what this low platelet count could mean.
