View allI'm really concerned about my dad's health. He's been having an unusually high WBC count, but he doesn't show any symptoms of leukocytosis. The blood smear and spleen tests all came back normal. He's stable, with no fever or inflammation, but his WBC count keeps fluctuating between 52000 and 28000. What could be causing this variation in his WBC count when everything else seems fine?

I'm a bit concerned about my hemoglobin level, which is at 18.3. I'm wondering if I should consider donating blood? Also, I'm curious about any lifestyle changes, diet, or medications I should think about. Could you help guide me on this?
Having a hemoglobin level of 18.3 is considered high, and before donating blood, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional. In terms of lifestyle changes and diet, it is recommended to consume iron-rich foods such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and dark leafy greens to maintain a healthy hemoglobin level. Additionally, vitamin C can help with iron absorption, so including citrus fruits or bell peppers in your diet may be beneficial. If medication is needed to lower your hemoglobin level, your doctor may prescribe medications such as phlebotomy or hydroxyurea to help manage it.
