Can high platelets cause elevated blood pressure?

Higher platelets usually do not cause higher blood pressure.
1. When the platelets in the patient’s body are high, usually there will be weakness, dizziness, head swelling, chest pain and other uncomfortable symptoms, and may also cause cerebral thrombosis, myocardial infarction, lower extremity venous thrombosis, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and other diseases, which can be seen in the primary thrombocythemia, but there is no connection to the increase in blood pressure.
2. However, if the patient himself suffers from hypertension, diabetes, high blood sugar, high blood lipids and other diseases, the platelets in the body are high, it may aggravate the condition as well as more likely to cause cerebral thrombosis, coronary heart disease and other thrombotic diseases.
If the platelets in the patient’s body are on the high side and he suffers from primary thrombocythemia, he should choose to use aspirin enteric-coated tablets, hydroxyurea tablets, clopidogrel bisulfate tablets and other medications under the guidance of a professional physician, which can effectively reduce the number of platelets.
