Posted on Wed, 12 Apr 2017

Question: I have severe health anxiety and am concerned about the fact that my platelet count is consistently at 175 range over the past couple years (dont know about before) and my lymphocytes just jumped from 1.6 to 2.4 between 12/17/16 and 3/7/16. They were 1.8 on 4/4/16. I dont have any health issues but am very scares about this spike. Should i be?

You have not to worry about this situation.
