View allI've been having some trouble with my breathing over the past few months and I tried using a spirometer at home. I could only manage to lift two out of the three balls completely. Is this normal, or should I be looking into getting more tests or treatment for this discomfort?

I recently got my lab results and I'm pretty concerned because my TLC is really high at 13700, ESR is 80, and my neutrophils are also high at 80. Plus, my lymphocytes are low. The sputum gram stain shows positive cocci, but the culture report just says normal flora. I haven't had a fever, but I'm experiencing pain when I inhale, and my phlegm sometimes has a foul smell or even looks rusty brown. I've also been dealing with tonsillitis. Do you think there's a chance I might have tuberculosis, or could this just be some kind of other infection? I'd really appreciate any insights.
Do CBNAAT.
