I am 67 years old and have been experiencing chest pain. My blood report shows a low count of monocytes, and my chest X ray shows no signs of any problem. I believe the chest pain might be due to acidity.

Chest pain with normal X ray and mild blood changes is often due to acidity or muscular causes. Still, keep a watch, if it recurs or worsens, get an ECG.

Can blood tests detect a bacterial infection?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Sir, I have pain in my head and neck, so I went to a general physician. He suggested a CBP. I have attached the blood report. My WBC is slightly high. Is this dangerous? How can I detect infection or disease in my body? Please guide me.

Hello doctor, I have lower back pain since evening, along with gastric issues and a lot of tiredness. I was COVID positive 5 months back and I am also a hypochondria patient. I read that lower back pain and tiredness can be related to blood cancer, which makes me scared. My blood report in February was normal. Please suggest genuine advice?
