Mario complained to his doctor that he had regular headaches, dizziness, and numbness in his hands. After a complete examination, the doctor prescribed anticoagulants. Which disorder was Mario most likely diagnosed with?

Answer
A
thrombocytosis
B
sepsis
C
anemia
D
hemophilia

Explanation

Thrombocytosis is an abnormally high platelet count, which can increase the risk of blood clots. Clots can cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and numbness, and anticoagulants may be prescribed to reduce clotting risk. Anemia and hemophilia are not treated with anticoagulants; in hemophilia, they could worsen bleeding.
