Some causes of low platelets are serious and alarming.
Some are much less so:

If you do not have easy bruising,seriously bleeding gums,
anemia, then a less serious cause may be the culprit.
There are many drugs that may cause this too...scroll down that link to the long drug list.
We have a friend whose spleen was eating up his platelets. He had to have it removed. He had severe coronary blockages, and his doctor said the low platelets were keeping him alive! But he finally had to have a quintuple bypass so, they removed the spleen and pumped him full of platelets and did that surgery all at once. I think it is a miracle he survived at all.
