I've noticed my total protein level is 8.6, with albumin at 4.5 and globulin at 4.1. Should I be worried about these elevated protein levels? Do you think its necessary for me to consult a doctor about this?

With a total protein of 8.6, albumin of 4.5, and globulin of 4.1, your protein levels are actually within the normal range (total protein: 6.4-8.9 gdL, albumin: 3.5-5.5 gdL, globulin: 2.0-3.5 gdL), so consultation with a doctor may not be necessary unless you have underlying medical conditions or symptoms that warrant further evaluation.

Question

I've been dealing with some weird symptoms recently and I'm getting a bit worried. Two weeks ago, I woke up with a really bad sore throat. I thought it might be because I wasnt drinking enough water in the mornings, so I started drinking more throughout the day. But, then last week, I started having this intense pain on the left side, right above my hip. It was pretty bad. And now this week, Im experiencing shortness of breath, some major headaches, and on and off chest pain. If I breathe in too quickly, I end up having this coughing fit. Its all starting to concern me. Could these symptoms be connected? What should I be doing about all this?
