3. Fatigue and General Tiredness
Bleeding-related symptoms and signs are usually the first ones that can help to point towards a low platelet count as the possible cause, but they aren’t the only symptoms that you should look for when it comes to your health. Fatigue is a symptom or sign that a lot of people will very often miss: When you’re feeling more tired than usual, even when you might be getting more than enough sleep, it could mean that it’s a symptom of something else.
Excessive fatigue that can’t be tracked down to how much sleep someone is getting should always be considered a serious medical symptom, and can sometimes be considered a potential sign of low platelets if it happens together with some of the other symptoms mentioned on this list.
Getting enough rest becomes vital for fatigue, but isn’t enough to treat it where the underlying cause might be a larger medical symptom.
