for the past one year, I've been having slightly high platelets. 490s or so. the docs don't know why.
no autoimmune disease. im not on any meds and I don't have any medical problems.
does anyone have any idea what can cause slightly elevated platelets?

@addis The presence of high platelets is rarely associated with a medical emergency. However, in some cases, high platelets may cause blood clotting, bleeding or stroke. If high platelets are accompanied by a persistent headache, difficulty breathing, dizziness, seizures, changes in speech, or confusion or loss of consciousness.
