[|Human|] During my last visit to our primary doctor to go over the blood test he prescribed he said my blood platlet count has dropped to 83, what should I do. Had many tests a year ago before having open heart surgery to replace a leaking valve, they couldn t find any reason for the low blood count.
[|AI|]  Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  Your low platelet count can be due to many reasons.  Most common is simple viral fever. Even malaria can lead to low platelet. So if you have any symptoms then you should go for further investigation and take treatment accordingly.  If you don't have any symptoms then no need to worry. Just be relaxed.  If you see any signs of bleeding then consult your doctor otherwise no treatment is required.  It will come back to normal within few days. . 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.
