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

Is my blood test report normal? My platelet count has been high in some tests and low in the last three values. My ESR is 8. Please explain whether this is normal or a cause for concern.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My platelet count is 125,000/mm (normal range: 150,000 to 400,000). Is this something serious or dangerous? Do I need any treatment? I have attached my report for your review and advice.
