Hi welcome to HCM.
Most of your symptoms can be related to underlying COPD.This can be controlled through antibiotics and supplemental oxygen.Low platelet count can be due to increased platelet destruction through the prosthetic valve.Review the valve status through the echocardiography.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
