Hi all
Does anyone know much about high platelet counts? I have donse some research and obviously made my anxiety worse by reading about cancer etc?
Some background. In July 2014 I had a routine blood test which showed a high platelet count. I was put on tgo 75mg Aspirin to help control the elevation. On Tuesday I had another routine blood test and was called by the surgery on Wednesday asking me to collect a letter for a consultation at my main hospital with a haemotologist to review my results as they were very high. Obviously the Aspirin have not worked!
I am due for an appointment on Wednesday 21st at 3pm and am really worried. I have been doing so well lately now I am just sleeping again, pains in chest, dizziness and no appetite. I really think with my family history I have Leukemia or a bad blood disorder.
How should one cope waiting to see someone? I know I should just carry on as normal but I am struggling.
Thanks
