Sufferers of a medical condition called thrombocytopenia have low levels of platelets in the blood, leading to symptoms that range from troublesome to severe. Treatments for this condition can include dietary changes, medications, surgery, or transfusions.
No need to be overly concerned now but as it can have a variety of natural and artificial origins, it's important to investigate the cause of the thrombocytopenia with your doctor.
Also you do not want it to get out of hand. If your levels are still dropping, you could get in a situation where a bleeding could be hard to stop.
