I've been looking over my recent CBP results and noticed that my platelet count is at 1.1 lakh. All my other parameters like RBC, WBC, and hemoglobin seem to be in the normal range. Any idea why my platelet count is like this? What should I be looking into or doing next?

View allI've been having problems with sleep disorders and noticed my skin's looking pretty pale. My doctor suggested I get a CBC, and while my hemoglobin is usually around 11, it dropped to 7.4 this time. The doctor couldn't believe the CBC report and asked me to redo it. The next morning, it went down to 7 with platelets at 629. I also had an abdomen pelvis ultrasound, but everything came back normal. Now, doctors keep passing me off to someone else. What could be going on?

I'm really concerned about my hemoglobin levels. In July, my HB was at 8.7, and now it's dropped to 5.8. I've already done all the blood-related tests, but they haven't shown any issues. I'm wondering if drinking red wine could help increase my hemoglobin. What do you think?
Red wine can provide some iron, but it's not a reliable or significant source to increase hemoglobin. If your hemoglobin is very low, it's important to focus on iron-rich foods, supplements, and follow up with your doctor to find the underlying cause.
