I think you just mentioned the best solution in your last paragraph…it IS time to see a hematologist so that you’re not second guessing your condition.

An enlarged spleen, which may be caused by a number of disorders, can harbor too many platelets, which decreases the number of platelets in circulation. There is a danger of clotting even with a reduced number of circulating platelets given that your blood work has been showing platelet clumping. You may want to check with your PCP if you don’t have a hematologist yet, to ask about the possibility of taking a low dose aspirin to help prevent clotting. Symptoms such as sudden hearing loss can be related to mini clots…just so you’re aware…this is nothing to trifle with.

Seeing a hematologist, a specialist in blood conditions, will take the guesswork out of what’s happening with your blood changes and potentially enlarged spleen. There are treatments to get your condition under control thereby allowing the spleen to return to a normal, healthy condition.

I’m nudging you to get a consult…how about it?
