Hello , I do understand your query. Thrombocytopenia could be because of many reasons . Are you from the Bengal belt ? Many patients have thrombocytopenia with  giant platelets ... For evaluation purpose ,do get a peripheral smear ,vitamin b12 levels and platelet indices done . It will give a broad picture into diagnosis. Any further queries ,will be happy to help .
