Get the platelet count done by the manual counting (not computerized). If it is still a similar figure then you should get bone marrow biopsy done.

As far as your bood report is considered, there are few irregularities but nothing to worry except for the platelet count being exorbitantly High, i.e. Thrombocytosis. Will need a further history to reach to a proper diagnosis.
Next Steps
You should get CBC test again, preferably from a different laboratory.
Health Tips
Drink water, relax. Don't take stress, both physically and mentally.
