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.

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a LIVER FUNCTION TEST (LFT) Test
