Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

Well, in your case the values should first be mentioned and if any problem you feel...weakness, bleeding, sweating, fever etc...

As per your description, these are all signs of a failing bone marrow as all products of the marrow are inadequate; therefore you need a bone marrow examination to comment any farther!

However, it might be some temporary or potentially treatable condition; consult some hematologist or write to us with all details...

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
