37 yr old f: elevated platelet count 3 months 344-405. last check plt- 388. elevated heart rates: 106. hgb 14.5, wbc 10.5, rex 4.9. cause for concern?

Stop worrying : No danger. The high-ish platelet count may just be you. Reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. One common cause of platelets rising is early iron deficiency before the anemia has appeared. Best wishes
