I'm a bit worried because my TSH level is 5.4. Is this considered high, low, or normal? If it's not normal, should I talk to a doctor about it?

I'm glad you clarified the correct information.
Monocytes 13% with Normal WBC Count
- Slightly elevated monocytes: A monocyte percentage of 13% is slightly above the normal range (5-12%).
- Normal WBC count: Your WBC count of 7,000 is within the normal range (4,500-11,000 cellsL).
Cancer Concerns
- No direct correlation: Elevated monocytes don't directly indicate cancer.
- Many possible causes: Slightly elevated monocytes can be caused by various factors, such as:
- Infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal)
- Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
- Autoimmune disorders
- Medication side effects
Next Steps
- Consult your doctor: Discuss your test results with your doctor to determine the cause of the slightly elevated monocytes.
- Further testing: Your doctor may recommend additional tests to rule out underlying conditions.
- Monitor and follow-up: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your monocyte levels and overall health.

I'm a 28-year-old guy managing my blood pressure with amlodipine and nebicard 2.5. Lately, I've been dealing with vertigo, and after an MRI, the neurologist said I'm fine and just gave me some spinfree tabs. He also noted that my vitamin D level is 64 nmolL and recommended a mega dose of 600,000 IU intramuscularly once a month for three months. Prior to this, I was on a 60,000 IU weekly regimen for three months, then reduced to once a month for two months. Ever since starting the 600,000 IU injections, I've been feeling like my heart's racing and I'm getting sweaty all over. Is it safe for me to continue these high-dose vitamin D injections given that I have high blood pressure and a 2mm kidney stone that I'm hoping to pass with lots of water? Just feeling a bit uneasy since my doctor is a neurologist, not a cardiologist.
its ok to take injection of vitamin d, it will not effect on your blood pressure
