I Have Low Platelets, 127. Should Be 140-440. My Count

I have low platelets, 127. Should be 140-440. My count last Oct was 138 and now Jan it's 127. I also have enlarged red blood cells. The doctor took 4 vials of blood today. I go back in 2 weeks for his report. He said that I could have a vitamin deficiency and also that one of my 2 problems could be from my antidepressants. I take Abilify, Zyprexa, and Lamictal. I take a multiple vitamin/mineral, Omega 3,6,9, calcium plus D3 and 500 mg time released vitamin C with rose hips. I stopped taking my simistatin about a month ago. I take 2 bp meds, 2 incontinence meds, & lasix. For 2 months (?) I'm using Symbicort and Pro Air for my COPD. I have a BPAP with oxygen. I only am on oxygen during the night. During the day my oxygen is from 89-97 but somtimes it's only 80. I'm not usiing oxygen during the day. I went back on the Omega about a month ago when I stopped taking the simistatin. Do you know why my platelets are low and why my red blood cells are enlarged?
