Has Anyone In This Group Or Does Anyone In This Group Have Low Blood Platelets?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've had low blood platelets all my life. In the beginning, my HIV doctor thought it had something to do with my HIV but after going through my medical chart and history that was ruled out since I had low platelets all the way back to when I had ear surgery when I was 5 years old. Now that I know I was born with a heart defect, I wonder if this is the cause.

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member

Now that I'm learning of my heart issues, I am just wondering if the platelets will change after heart surgery.
