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.

Platelet count of 100 (mild thrombocytopenia) can be normal for some individuals. If there are no symptoms (bruising, bleeding), just monitor.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a PERIPHERAL SMEAR Test
