I'm worried about my lymphocyte count, it's at 56 and my hemoglobin is 14.3. A few months ago, my lymphocyte count was around 50. Should I be concerned about the increase? Any advice would be really helpful.

An increase in lymphocytes can be due to various reasons such as infections, stress, inflammation, or even certain medications. Since your hemoglobin (Hb) level is normal at 14.3, it is less likely to be a cause for concern. To address your worries about the high lymphocyte count, I recommend focusing on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing stress, and staying hydrated. If you have any symptoms such as persistent fever, unexplained weight loss, or enlarged lymph nodes, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter medications like Vitamin C supplements to support your immune system. Additionally, getting regular exercise and ensuring an adequate intake of fruits and vegetables can also help support your overall health.

I've been dealing with hair loss since I was 23 and recently discovered it's due to hypothyroidism. I'm currently getting homeopathy treatment, which has helped a bit, but the hair loss won't stop. I don't have PCOD, PCOS, scalp issues, or dandruff, so those aren't the problems. My doctor mentioned it could be an iron deficiency, so I started some meds they suggested. My hemoglobin went up, but my serum ferritin is still pretty lowit's been stuck around 16 to 24 over the past year, even with me eating red meat and other iron-rich foods. It's frustrating because Im getting married soon and don't want this stress hanging over me. Any idea who I should see about getting my serum ferritin levels up? Your advice would mean a lot.
