I'm a bit concerned about my platelet count since my recent battle with a viral fever. It dropped quite a bitfrom 94,000 down to 64,000, and then to 43,000. Now that I'm feeling better, I know I need to keep an eye on my platelet levels. But should I really be doing blood tests every day, especially while I'm on my period?

It's not necessary or recommended to do a blood test every day, especially during your periods, as this can lead to unnecessary stress, expense, and potential infection risks; instead, follow your doctor's advice and schedule blood tests at intervals they recommend, typically every 2-3 days or weekly, to monitor your platelet count, and consider discussing with your doctor the possibility of thrombocytopenia or other underlying conditions that may be contributing to your low platelet count.

Everything else seems to be within the normal range. I'm just wondering if there's something I should be concerned about or if there's any specific reason for these levels?

I'm a bit concerned after my recent body check-up. My platelet count came back high at 439, and my absolute lymphocytes are elevated at 3903. Should I be worried about these numbers? What could they indicate, and do I need to take any specific actions to address them?
