My doctor took me off Pepcid AC, said it will lower platelets, many OTC pain relievers can also affect blood counts...

With that being said, fluctuations tend to be normal, even some wild swings... The swings can be due to illness, but as long as they stays in the normal range, it could just be due to your body making other types of blood cells, and the normal life cycle of the different types of blood cells...

All the best...
