Can lower platelets count cause low energy levels?
Patient: Hi  I am a 65 year old male . My platelets are consistently 15 points lower than normal. My doc says so long as they are  at a consistent level It is ok. I am consistently tired and have low energy levels. Is this ok? If the platelets were higher would I be less tired. I am fairly active? Doctor: Low platelets generally are not the direct cause of fatigue.  It is usually only when low platelets lead to low red blood cell count that platelets play a role in fatigue. Make sure your other blood counts are within normal limits & follow up with your doctor regarding the severity of platelet counts.
