Doctor: Hello dear,Thank you for your contact to health care magic.I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.Current platelets was increases as compared to previous one.This is the sign of improvement. With this improvement if the blood pressure is normal than there is no need to worry.But low temperature and fall in blood pressure is adverse sign and should be taken care with volume increasing solutions.Once the volume increases both the blood pressure and the temperature increases.I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.Thank you,Dr Arun TankInfectious diseases specialist,HCM
