Platelet count dropped from 256 to 200 in 2 months. would a panic attack cause values to drop?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not a problem: Most likely normal variation. No one has the exact same lab results every time.

No!: Your platelet count is fine. It varies from one day to next, but as long as the count is >150,000, it is considered normal. Why did you even get it checked???
