Hi everyone, i am new to this forum :)
i have been struggling with health anxiety for about 2 years but things have been better until recently
I had blood tests done about 2 weeks ago because i was having pain on the left side of my back. I also had a some other tests that ruled out any problems with my kidneys.. that was good.
Yesterday i noticed i had two brownish bruises on my arm where i had the blood test done. i went to see a doctor who told me that i had a platelet level of 137 when it should be between 150 and 400. Although the doctor i initially saw didn't seem to think that was a problem. I then read that bruising could be due to a low platelet count and that many serious illnesses can cause this. I am soooo worried :weep: the doctor ordered more blood tests to see if the levels have changed :((((((
