[|Human|] Hello i m female 44 yrs old, 139 pounds, 5 4 , hypothyroidism(under control 1.7), fibroids (heavy menstrual cycle) but in general healthy. My last period was sept.3 until sept 6(usually is more days).It was heavy on 4th and 5th. I had blood work yesterday the results came back : WBC 5.5(normal range 4-10),RBC 4.15(normal range 3.80-4.80), differential (all normal), hemoglobin 113, hematocrit 0.36(normal range 0.35-0.43),MCV 87(normal range 82-98), MCHC 315(norm rang 305-365),RDW 13.3(norm. range 11.5-14.5), hemoglobin 113 (normal range 120-150),MCH 27.2 (normal range 27.5-33.5) ferritin 25(normal 15-180) and platelets 439 (normal range in my lab 150-400). It is the first time that my platelets are higher. All the annually previous blood work were really good.......Also I have few days that I feel mild discomfort-pressure on my forehead and next to my nose too. i feel my eyes tired and I have sometime the unsteady feeling.what is your opinion? the higher platelets worries me a little a bit..
[|AI|]  Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  No need to worry at all.  Your platelet count is slightly high. It is seen in many healthy individuals as normal variation.  It may be due reactive thrombocytes.  Reactive thrombocytes is common after heavy blood loss. So no need to worry about your platelets count. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
