I recently did a random blood test because I was feeling kind of light-headed, and the results got me a bit worried. My neutrophil count is at 80%, lymphocytes are at 15%, and my total WBC count is 10500. I'm 18, so I'm not sure if these numbers are normal for someone my age. Could you help me understand what this might mean?

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?
