I'm feeling worried because I've been experiencing chest discomfort and shortness of breath for the past three months. I recently got my blood report back, and it shows my lymphocytes level is at 55. Should I be concerned about that? Also, my ECG, echocardiogram, PFT, and chest X-rays came back normal. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Based on your symptoms and normal test results, a high percentage of lymphocytes in the blood may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation. However, since your other tests are normal, it is less likely to be related to a serious heart or lung condition. To address the chest discomfort and shortness of breath, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids for possible acid reflux or GERD symptoms. Additionally, you can take a short course of antibiotics like Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days to cover any potential infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm wondering if it's okay to stop taking ecospirin 75 after recovering from COVID. Is there a recommended time to keep taking it if I only had mild symptoms? And what happens if I stop using it after a month? Could there be any side effects from stopping it so soon?
Ecospirin 75 is a brand name for aspirin. Aspirin is often prescribed post-Covid recovery to prevent blood clots. The duration for taking aspirin post-Covid recovery varies depending on individual risk factors and the severity of the illness. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding the duration of aspirin therapy. Stopping aspirin abruptly after 1 month of Covid recovery may increase the risk of blood clots, especially if you were prescribed aspirin for this purpose. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before discontinuing any medication, including aspirin, to avoid any potential side effects or complications.

I've been managing high blood pressure for a while now and I keep up with my daily exercise routine, which includes walking about 4.5 km and jogging 1.5 km. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue jogging with my high BP. Can jogging be risky for someone in my condition, or is there a safe way to incorporate it into my fitness routine?
It is generally safe to jog with high blood pressure, but it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine. It is recommended to start with low to moderate intensity exercises and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and listen to your body for any signs of discomfort. If you experience any dizziness, chest pain, or severe shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and seek medical attention.
