This is serious: You've already had a marrow aspiration and are under a physician's care. This can be anything from autoimmunity to medication to something very worrisome; the healthtap team wishes you the best but can't offer any advice without more information.

Need work up: Your platelt count is severely low you need to see a hematologist and need work up and perhaps starting treatment. The treatment will depend on cause for low platelets and may be simple or complex.
