Consistent high MPV count

I (32F) have been getting my bloodwork done every 2-4 months due to Graves’ disease management. I noticed that my MPV found has been high the last 2 years. It’s consistently stayed between 13.5-13.6.

I also had vitamin D deficiency and have been taking supplements for two months now. I had another CBC work up this week and I’m really starting to get worried. My doctor literally shut me down when I brought it up.

Should I be worried? My last labs this week showed it went up to 14.1 now. Everything else was in the normal range except for WBC would was slightly low at 3.88 (normal is 4.5-11). Other than those two values, everything else was normal.

I’m currently dealing with really bad GERD. Medication isn’t helping and I’m starting to develop pain in my left chest/rib area. I’m guessing it’s around upper stomach related….also having numbness in my left foot sometimes but it’s not too bad.

I’m not looking for a medical diagnosis lol just trying to get suggestions. Also, thinking about going to see a private hematologist or finding a clinic that can give me a more in depth workup.

So is this look concerning? Sorry about my English.
