I'm a 22-year-old female and recently got my blood work done. My lymphocyte count is 45.7, MCH is 32.1pg, and my absolute basophils are at 6.5cmm. I haven't had any illnesses or infections in the past, but these numbers seem a bit off. Should I be concerned or do anything specific about these abnormal blood counts?

While your lymphocyte and basophil counts are slightly elevated, this may not necessarily indicate a serious issue, especially without symptoms. The best course of action is to consult your healthcare provider to discuss your lab results and get a clearer understanding of what might be happening. Your doctor may want to track these values over time or perform additional tests to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm wondering if having high MCH and MCV levels could be making me gain weight. Also, could these levels cause any issues with altitude sickness? I'm planning to climb Kilimanjaro next month, so I'm curious about how this might affect me.

High MCH and MCV often indicate macrocytic anemia, which can affect energy levels and endurance, possibly making weight gain harder and altitude sickness more challenging. Before climbing Kilimanjaro, consult your doctor to address this, as anemia may impact oxygen transport in high-altitude conditions.
