I'm having some trouble breathing, mostly when I'm walking or at night. It feels like there's something blocking my nose, and sometimes I get a mild chest pain. I saw in my blood test that my hemoglobin is at 10.3gm. I'm just wondering, could these symptoms be because of my low blood count or is there something else going on?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my recent CBC test results. Everything seems normal except for my monocyte count, which is at 80.6 cellscu.mm, whereas I understand the normal range should start from 200. My total WBC is 6200 cellscu.mm, with neutrophils at 4327, lymphocytes at 1636, basophils at 24.8, and eosinophils at 130.2. My platelet count is 303,000, and the peripheral blood smear showed a normocytic normochromic blood picture, so no issues there. Should I be worried about that low monocyte count? Is there something specific I should be looking into?

Question

I've been noticing some random bruising on my left leg and other areas of my body, and there's no pain or any injury that I can think of. They just show up without any warning. I'm also experiencing delayed periods and was wondering if these might be related in some way? On top of that, I've been diagnosed with vertigo. Could there be any connection between these symptoms? It's all starting to worry me a bit.

Question

I've been looking over my recent CBP results and noticed that my platelet count is at 1.1 lakh. All my other parameters like RBC, WBC, and hemoglobin seem to be in the normal range. Any idea why my platelet count is like this? What should I be looking into or doing next?
