Should I Have Colonoscopy For High Platelets?
A few days ago I had a funny turn where I got very lightheaded and felt like I would pass out followed by a racing heartbeat thumping in my ears I was sent by my gp to hospital where they did blood tests and I was told I had high platelets and I should have a colonoscopy and I did a 24 hour urine monitor why???? I forgot to mention also I have hypertension should I be worried?????

Hi and welcome to HCM. THanks for the query.
Your doctor may consider that there is internal bowel bleeding which may have caused your symotoms so this is reason for colonoscopy. Wish you good health. Regards
