Need more info: Platelet count of 440 thousand, while high is not bad per se. It is likely that you are iron deficient as that is associated with high platelet counts. Get you hemoglobin tested, but even if that is normal you may wish to take oral iron supplement and a multivitamin on a regular basis while your are having menstrual period.

Not really : It is not dangerous. If you are borderline iron deficient without anemia, this may be your heads-up. Your physician can discuss further testing.
