Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have some chronic myeloproliferative disease.  You should go for bone marrow examination with flow cytometry to search the exact cause. Whether you have essential thrombocytopenia, CML or some other disease. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
