I'm a 22-year-old female and recently got my blood work done. My lymphocyte count is 45.7, MCH is 32.1pg, and my absolute basophils are at 6.5cmm. I haven't had any illnesses or infections in the past, but these numbers seem a bit off. Should I be concerned or do anything specific about these abnormal blood counts?

While your lymphocyte and basophil counts are slightly elevated, this may not necessarily indicate a serious issue, especially without symptoms. The best course of action is to consult your healthcare provider to discuss your lab results and get a clearer understanding of what might be happening. Your doctor may want to track these values over time or perform additional tests to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm feeling really anxious because my platelet count has dropped to 80,000, and just three days ago it was at 85,000. I'm really scaredis this a sign of blood cancer? I don't have a fever or anything like that, so I'm just confused and worried about what's going on.

Many a times , due to dehydration, platelets count comes low. So nothing to worry. I suggest - First increase your oral intake of liquids and water Repeat Blood Test After 15 days Then Only we can conclude anything for the same. Next Steps Take Plenty of Liquids Orally. Repeat CBC test after 15 Days and Check your platelets counts.
