Hi, platelets are meant to clot so nothing to worry about there. Also, you have a low normal amount so also no extra risk of clots. You shouldn't have a bleeding problem unless your platelets drop quite low...well below normal.. Having said this, the presence of large platelets indicate that something is wrong. It could be something as simple as having had a virus that knocked your platelet count down and to compensate your bone marrow is throwing out young immature larger cells to make up the numbers.
Platelet count: The calculated number of platelets in a volume of blood, usually expressed as platelets per cubic millimeter (cmm) of whole blood. Platelets are the smallest cell-like structures in the blood and are important for blood clotting and plugging damaged blood vessels.latelet count: The calculated number of platelets in a volume of blood, usually expressed as platelets per cubic millimeter (cmm) of whole blood.
