I've been dealing with a vitamin B12 deficiency for a couple of months and started getting B12 injections weekly for six weeks. I just got my levels checked again, and now they're over 2000. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Also, I have some other blood work results like hemoglobin at 15, platelets at 346, and WBC at 7800. I'm curious if these are all interconnected somehow. What's going on with my blood tests?

View allI'm feeling really anxious because my platelet count has dropped to 80,000, and just three days ago it was at 85,000. I'm really scaredis this a sign of blood cancer? I don't have a fever or anything like that, so I'm just confused and worried about what's going on.
Many a times , due to dehydration, platelets count comes low. So nothing to worry. I suggest - First increase your oral intake of liquids and water Repeat Blood Test After 15 days Then Only we can conclude anything for the same. Next Steps Take Plenty of Liquids Orally. Repeat CBC test after 15 Days and Check your platelets counts.

I had a blood test about 3 or 4 days ago and just got the report today. My lymphocytes count is at 44, while it was 14 back on April 25th. Should I be worried about this change?

I'm a bit worried because my recent test showed my hemoglobin level is 8.6, and I was told that's on the low side. About three months ago, I was fastingcould that be related? Can you suggest ways to boost my hemoglobin level, and what foods should I focus on? Are there any symptoms or serious issues I should be aware of with a level like this? Also, how long does it usually take to see an improvement?
With a hemoglobin level of 8.6, which is below the normal range of 13.5-17.5 gdL for adults, you may experience symptoms like fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath; to improve your hemoglobin level, consume iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, lentils, and fortified cereals, and vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits, bell peppers, and tomatoes to enhance iron absorption with proper diet and supplements, you can expect to see improvements in your hemoglobin level within 2-3 months, but regular follow-up blood tests are necessary to monitor progress.
