I'm looking over my CBC blood test results and I'm a bit worried. My PDW is at 17.1, and I've noticed my WBC count is 11.4, while the normal range they provided is between 4 to 9. Also, my HCT level is 41.8 but the normal ratio is 34 to 38. Could you help me understand what these numbers might mean? I'm not sure if these are something to be concerned about. Would appreciate any advice or suggestion you could give!

View allI'm a bit concerned because my blood test showed high lymphocytes, exactly 42.1. Should I be worried about any health issues down the line? What steps can I take now to make sure everything stays in check?
High lymphocytes in the blood can indicate an infection, inflammation, or a response to stress. To address this issue and prevent any potential health issues in the future, it is important to determine the underlying cause of the elevated lymphocytes. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) for any discomfort, and ensure you stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I've been dealing with a vitamin B12 deficiency for a couple of months and started getting B12 injections weekly for six weeks. I just got my levels checked again, and now they're over 2000. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Also, I have some other blood work results like hemoglobin at 15, platelets at 346, and WBC at 7800. I'm curious if these are all interconnected somehow. What's going on with my blood tests?
consult physician
