A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your platelet count is quite high and there is a small risk of blood clots. The risk of blood clots is not all that significant unless the platelet count is over 1 million. Aspirin is a good drug to use if you are worried. One tablet daily is enough but do check it with the doctor(call the doctors office and speak with a doctor or nurse) whom you are going to see in 2 weeks.
