Platelets or thrombocytes are the blood cell fragments that are involved in the cellular mechanisms that lead to the formation of blood clots. Low levels or dysfunction predisposes for bleeding, while high levels, although usually asymptomatic, may increase the risk of thrombosis. (Clots)

Platelets are responsible for the clotting of blood. Too many of them could result in internal clotting. But if you're having blood tests, then I suppose a doctor is watching you. Ask for details if you're worried.

platelets have several functions, one of the main ones is to make your blood clot, it also gives volume to your blood, you need to talk to your doctor. although yours is not that much out of range.

platellates seal the break in blood vessel caused by any reason. they form a blood clot ans seal the hole/break in blood vessel.
Excess platellates can cause blood clotting. clot can block blood flow and cause damage to part where blood is getting suppllied.
There are medicines in ayurveda which cause blood purification, adding haemoglobin, RBCs etc. Try them.
