Low Platelets Count During Pregnancy
I am 16 weeks pregnant , and my platelets are continuing to drop. They were 115 three weeks ago, and as of May 23rd they are at 111. My question is; can low platelets cause headaches and fatigue? I live in Florida, and work outside cleaning pools, is it safe to continue?

low paltelets means low immunity.
if u r pregnant & have hard work & mixing wth lots of people u need to be cautious.
ur headaches & fatigue may have corelation wth low platelets yet may have other reasons also
have plenty of fluids juices & fruits & raisins beetrroot, carrots, sweet potatoes may help to increase platelet count.
yet u need to consult ur gynac for other medical options

hi
welcome to healthcare magic
obviously, fall in paltelet must rule out the root cause, like any infection or immune-disorder
but considering your pregnancy, i will advice you to start Tinospora cordifolia supplements at the earliest
this is a proven adaptogen and works very nice in blood disorders
we have seen such results in dengue fever in our country
take care

Hello,
Low platlets are cause of low immunity, which can cause headache &
fatigue. you may take iron tonic & multivitamines.
Consult your doctor & go for regular check up.
