Accepted Answer

Rx you, not the #: A platelet count of 100, 000 in the absence of any suggestion of illness isn't a concern.  Lower levels should prompt an effort to find the cause (often a medicine) but things become dangerous if you're below 50, 000 and going to surgery or a nfl football field.  Lower values become life-threatening.  If your physician is not concerned, i'm not either.
