May not be much: Mild anemia is common, especially in females of reproductive years...From losing some iron monthly. Also, mild elevation of platelets is also common..Some viral infections can do this. I assume you have mild anemia and platelet elavation, otherwise you would have been told to have additional work-up and/or treatment etc.. Check with your doc.

Iron deficiency: The combination of findings is commonly seen in iron deficiency. If you are an adult male, a hidden cause of bleeding, e.g., colon cancer must be excluded. If you are a female with regular heavy periods, you may just need iron supplementation. In either case it would be good idea to see your doctor, even though you feel fine.
