Question

I'm a bit worried about my recent lab results. My neutrophils are low at 46 and my lymphocytes are a bit high at 50. My ferritin is really low at 16 ngml, but my H. Pylori IgG and IgA are negative. Should I be concerned about the low ferritin or the imbalance between my neutrophils and lymphocytes? Everything else like WBC, RBC, and platelets is normal, but I'm not sure about these few things. Can you help me understand what these mean for my health?

Question

I'm a 32-year-old male, and during a comprehensive test I found out that my Vitamin B12 level is at 1892 pgml. For the past 7 years, I've been taking a combination of methylcobalamin 1500 mcg with pyridoxin and folic acid because my homocysteine levels were high at 15.55. Can you help me understand why my Vitamin B12 level is elevated? Is it okay for me to keep taking these tablets, or could there be any issues with high Vitamin B12 levels? Everything else in my reports looks good. Would love your advice on this.
