Question

My dad, who's 48, was diagnosed with COVID-19 a month ago but he's feeling fine now, no symptoms or anything. Recently, his blood test showed d-dimer levels at 1440 and LDH at 239. The doctor put him on anti-coagulation medicine. He doesn't have high blood pressure or diabetes. I'm a bit worried and have a few questions: Does a high d-dimer mean he has high cholesterol? Is it safe for him to eat chicken and mutton kheema? What foods should he avoid and what should he include in his diet now?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because my blood test showed high lymphocytes, exactly 42.1. Should I be worried about any health issues down the line? What steps can I take now to make sure everything stays in check?

Question

I'm really concerned about my dad's health. He's been having an unusually high WBC count, but he doesn't show any symptoms of leukocytosis. The blood smear and spleen tests all came back normal. He's stable, with no fever or inflammation, but his WBC count keeps fluctuating between 52000 and 28000. What could be causing this variation in his WBC count when everything else seems fine?
