Is this blood report normal? I'm a 27-year-old male, and I've had a history of severe vitamin B12 and D deficiency that went untreated for a few years, though I completed the treatment. I still struggle with IBS, and I'm worried because my recent blood test showed some values out of range. My lymphocytes are at 43, RBC count is 4.5, hematocrit is 40.9, MCH is 33.7 pg, MCHC is 37.1, RDWCV is 14.8, platelets count is 169, sodium is 149, potassium is 5.1, and chloride is 107. Should I be concerned about these results, or are they something I should keep an eye on?

-The blood report shows some values slightly out of the normal range, particularly with lymphocyte count, MCH, MCHC, and electrolyte levels (sodium, chloride). These may be linked to your past vitamin deficiencies and ongoing IBS. It's advisable to discus

View allI'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results showing high lymphocytes. Is this something I should be worried about? Plus, I've been losing weight unexpectedly. Could these things be connected?
High lymphocytes in the blood, known as lymphocytosis, can be caused by various factors such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and certain types of cancer like lymphoma. Since you are also experiencing excessive weight loss, it is important to further investigate the underlying cause. I would recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is important.

I'm really feeling worried because I've been experiencing dizziness that almost led to unconsciousness. So, I did some blood tests like Hb1, TSH, and CBC. Hb1 and TSH results are normal, but my CBC shows an absolute eosinophil count of 854, and I've read it should be within the 20-500 range. Also, my neutrophils are at 30, lymphocytes at 50, and eosinophils at 14. I'm not sure what this all means though, and I'm wondering who would be the best specialist to consult about these results?
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit worried because I did a CBC recently and found my monocyte level is at 13, though my WBC count is at a normal 7000. I stumbled upon some discussions online saying that high monocytes can be linked to cancer, and now I'm pretty anxious about it. I also made a mistake in an earlier message where I said my WBC count was 4200, and I'm not sure how to correct that. Do I have any reason to be seriously concerned here?
