Im on a waiting list for blood tests as my platelets are raised.im flying tuesday and my dad died suddenly from dvt/pe two years ago.im freaking out?

If your platelet count turns out be high, it would be likely be secondary to iron deficiency. Take oral iron and multivitamins. To reduce your risk of DVT/PE you may take one aspirin 2-4 hours before your flight. Stay hydrated despite the hassle of having to use the restroom in a plane. Wish you good health!
