OK: Both levels are normal. Plaelet count can normally fluctuate from day to day, or even during the same day. Don't worry.

?iron deficiency: Your platelet count is higher than normal and could be due to iron deficiency. Take oral iron and multivitamin supplements for 6 months and repeat the count. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
