ET

Hi all,

I have found this site and just looking for suggestions really.

on my last routine blood test I found out that I have had raised platelets over the last 28 months or so, rising each time. My latest one bring 596.

the GP has told me that he will monitor this again in 6months with another blood test, this was about 5/6 weeks ago at my last appt.

I have been getting headaches but over this last week or two and right now I am getting constant headaches, similar to migraines (I used to be on repeat meds for that) therefore I know the difference and they are really bad, I am getting the odd light headed ness etc, I'm taking paracetamol regularly which eases but then it returns.

im not sure whether to contact the GP again over this, any advice please guys ?

Many thanks

    I'm sorry to hear that since you've last seen your GP you've had some new symptoms appear. It sounds as if they really are quite miserable. 

    As these headaches don't appear to be subsiding please do get in touch with your GP who will be able to arrange any appropriate tests or referrals. 

    I hope that things improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
