Its called Thrombocytosis ..it is a disorder in which your body produces too many platelets (thrombocytes), which play an important role in blood clotting. The disorder is called reactive thrombocytosis or secondary thrombocythemia
Reactive thrombocytosis causes include:
Acute bleeding and blood loss
Burns

Coronary artery bypass
Exercise
Heart attack
