I'm a bit concerned because my lymphocyte count has been between 40% and 50% for the past two years. Are these levels considered too high? What tests should I consider to get a clearer picture of what's happening?

I'm a bit concerned because my platelet count is at 1.24cumm, which I believe is lower than the normal 1.50cumm range, but then I see my total platelet count shows 1.51cumm.
