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

Platelet count is improving and not dangerously low. Chills without fever suggest mild viral illness or exertion effects. No immediate concern. Monitor platelets and CBC weekly.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

My father is suffering from low platelet count. Every time his test report shows between 45,000 to 15,000 per microliter. He was admitted to the hospital for a week, and the last day report showed 95,000 per microliter. Now the doctor has recommended a bone marrow test. Our whole family is worried. Please suggest. I am from Kanpur, UP.

Hi, my friend, a 30 year old female, has a platelet count of 126,000, with no signs of infection. Is this normal? Should she undergo any additional tests to identify the underlying cause, and if so, which tests are recommended?

In my report, the platelet distribution width is 16.2 percent and the mean platelet volume is 7.2 fL. Can I know if there is any problem?
