Can Stomach Pain And Nausea Be Related To Low Platelet Count?
Hi i have been having stomach pain which come with nausea, fatigue all the time for a couple years now. I thought it was acid reflux I have been on nexium and aciphex and even tried some basic diets but no better. i recently went for a blood check and was told my platelet count is low 126. can they be related?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Low platelet counts occurs due to decreased production of platelets or increased destruction of platelets.
Nausea, vomiting, fatigue and abdominal pain do not appear to be related to low platelet counts.
The abdominal pain and other symptoms could be due to abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract.
Consult your primary health care provider for clinical assessment and thus treatment.
Thanks and take care
