Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My platelet count is higher, 5,01,000, and my Hb is 9.2 gm%. I am very sick. What is the reason, and is there any big problem in the future? My age is 33 years, and I am a female.
Kindly guide.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It does not appear to be a matter of worry. You may experience symptoms such as easy fatigue, shortness of breath, and palpitations due to low hemoglobin levels. Do you have any other symptoms besides those I mentioned above? Do you have a fever, weight loss, etc? The likely cause for the changes in blood parameters is iron deficiency. You may get it confirmed by doing an iron profile test. Alternatively, you get started yourself on iron supplements, as in all probability, it is iron deficiency only. So, you should start on tablet Fericip XT (Iron and Folic acid) twice a day after breakfast and dinner. This has to be continued till hemoglobin is corrected. So get it started and repeat the hemoglobin and platelet count after four weeks.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
