What Causes Dizziness And High Platelets After Vaginal Hysterectomy?

I just had labs following a Vaginal Hysterectomy, 2 weeks post op. I was feeling light headed and wondered if I was anemic. I did have a couple of episodes of increased heart rate 120 without significant activity. I was a little concerned as I really did not feel well as the rate came back down( which took quite a bit of time) with rest . CBC was slightly on the low side but blood work did show that my platelets were high at 408. Just wondered if I should ask about a follow up or if likely due to the surgery.

I have gone through ur msg and understand your concern.

it may be due to some sort of hormonal imbalances or variations in the body,though there may be other reasons as well

Nothing to worry about, You should eventually get back to normal.
