Is it dangerous that I have only 175,000 platelets?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I suffered from body pain, semi liquid loose motion, body weakness, and sometimes fever in the evening. My blood report says that my blood platelets are 1.10 lakhs. Please give your opinion on that?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
