My recent routine blood test shows a platelet count of 130,000. As per my test report from August, it was 140,000. In the meantime, I had a slipped disc, which is now fine. Is the declining platelet count related to that, or could it be a sign of another problem? I have attached my hematology report for reference.

Not likely related to disc issue. However, persistent low platelets need monitoring. Please repeat CBC, Platelet Count and ANA to exclude chronic low grade causes. Take these tests to monitor the drop and rule out autoimmunity.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test

I received my CBC report today, and my blood platelets have increased from 100,000 to 135,000 in three days. I do not have fever, and I am eating and drinking well. The only issue is that I feel chills. Could this chill be due to low platelets? Despite this, I am performing 3 rounds of push ups (15 each) with 30 second rest. Please advise if the chills are related to platelet count.

Is a blood platlet count of 510 worrying?

Hi, my wife has a 7 months pregnancy and last week she suffered from fever. We consulted the doctor and took the medicines but a couple of days later her body filled with red rashes. We have gone through the CBP Dengue and other tests and the result of Dengue NS1 antigen is positive. I have attached the blood report. Could you please suggest the food and medicines?
