elevated platelet levels
I have experienced higher than normal platelet levels since I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis in 2015. Has anyone experienced the same?

I have not experienced this.
Good morning, Dragonlady!
Higher platelet levels have been seen in people living with chronic lung conditions. I recommend having your health care provider keep tracking your labs to make sure that they are aware of your numbers, but your situation is not uncommon.
Have a great rest of your day!!
