Suggest Treatment For Severe Thrombocytosis Causing Random Chest Pain
Hi. I have been diagnosed with thrombocytosis. My platelet count is 1115 million as of this weekend and my Dr. does not have me on meds yet. We have talked about hydroxyurea. I am now having random chest pain and numbness in my right leg. What are the most common and severe side effects of this medication? I see my Dr. this Thursday.

Hello,
I think you should take the hydroxiurea as soon as possible.
You have the risk of thrombosis if you don't get treated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
