Accepted Answer

A high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis) of 3.65 and 42% can be caused by various factors, including viral infections, chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or blood cancers, while an increased platelet size (PDW, MPV, PLCR) may indicate a platelet disorder or a bone marrow response to inflammation or infection, so it's essential to consult a hematologist for further evaluation and diagnosis.

I've been having a lot of trouble with acidity every night around midnight, right at 24 am. It's been so hard for me to get any sleep after it happens. I always thought I was eating a normal and balanced diet, so I'm puzzled why this keeps happening....

Accepted Answer

To alleviate midnight acidity (2-4 am) and promote permanent relief, try these measures: avoid lying down after dinner, elevate the head of your bed by 6-8 inches, eat a light dinner, avoid trigger foods (citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, spicy or fatty foods), incorporate alkaline-rich foods (ginger, cucumber, melons), stay hydrated, manage stress through relaxation techniques (yoga, meditation, deep breathing), and consider natural antacids like aloe vera juice, coconut water, or ginger tea before bed.
