My dad has dengue and his platelet count is around 80000 now. he is also a heart patient. the doctors have asked him to stop the heart tablets. worry?

Dengue Fever: Dengue fever may cause the platets to drop. Your father probably also takes medicaiton to thin his blood due to his heart disease. The combiantion of low platlets and blood thinners will increase the incidence of bleeding.
