Should I go to my doctor now or wait.

Question

Asked for Male, 38 Years

I've been having night sweats, my joints in my hip and elbow are hurting, and my blood platelets were low when I had my blood work done about a week ago. Should I go to my doctor or wait for the follow up visit in three weeks? I'm feeling very weak today and tired.

More detailed history would be helpful. Any recent travel history. If it is the first episode and if you have fever now or had that in the recent past. Is there any weight loss. Other than the low platelets what about the other blood counts.
