When to worry about high platelet count.

A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Having more than 450,000 platelets is a condition called thrombocytosis; having less than 150,000 is known as thrombocytopenia. The medical term for having too many platelets is thrombocytosis, and there are two types: - Primary or essential thrombocytosis – Abnormal cells in the bone marrow cause an increase in platelets, but the reason is unknown - Secondary thrombocytosis – The same condition as primary thrombocytosis, but may be caused by an ongoing condition or disease such as anemia, cancer, inflammation, or infection I would advise you to visit a MD general medicine so that the results can be clinically correlated so that the underlying cause of the problem can be found and treated accordingly.

Follow the steps as advised

If condition persists or worsens visit the ER at the earliest
