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.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

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

What is the purpose of the CBC test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My uncle hemoglobin is only 7.2 and platelets are 85,000. He also has some jaundice as per the liver function test in his blood report.

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.
