If you lost a lot of your platelets, the most direct consequence would be that **you might bleed for a longer time**. Platelets are critical for blood clotting, so a significant decrease in their number can lead to prolonged bleeding, easy bruising, and an increased risk of hemorrhage.
While low platelet levels can indeed affect immune function and overall health, the other options related to difficulty breathing and oxygen levels are not directly caused by low platelet count. Therefore, the correct response is:
**You might bleed for a longer time.**
