I do not have a fever, but I am experiencing light headache, dizziness, and lower abdominal pain. I had a CBC done, which shows a low platelet count of 52,000 and hemoglobin of 9.4. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Low platelets (52,000) and low hemoglobin (9.4) with dizziness and lower abdominal pain need urgent evaluation even without fever. It could be due to internal bleeding, dengue, or other causes. Avoid painkillers and heavy activities. Consult a doctor or visit the hospital immediately for monitoring. Do a Repeat CBC, Dengue NS1, and Ultrasound Abdomen to find the cause.

My lab report shows that on the first day, my platelet count was 1,48,000, and on the next day, it dropped to 1,22,000. I am concerned about what this decrease means?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is it normal to have slightly elevated platelets count?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My platelet count is 125,000/mm (normal range: 150,000 to 400,000). Is this something serious or dangerous? Do I need any treatment? I have attached my report for your review and advice.
