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?

I'm really feeling worried because I've been experiencing dizziness that almost led to unconsciousness. So, I did some blood tests like Hb1, TSH, and CBC. Hb1 and TSH results are normal, but my CBC shows an absolute eosinophil count of 854, and I've read it should be within the 20-500 range. Also, my neutrophils are at 30, lymphocytes at 50, and eosinophils at 14. I'm not sure what this all means though, and I'm wondering who would be the best specialist to consult about these results?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really concerned about some of my blood test results that came back high. The RDW-SD is 51.1 fL and the RDW-CV is 14.7. Also, the PDW is 20.16 fL, which is way above the reference range. Even the MPV is quite high at 14.4 fL. I know my platelet count is 152 and the total RBC is 4.8, both of which are normal. But I'm really worried because I've heard high counts can sometimes indicate something serious, like cancer. Can you please help explain what all this might mean?

The elevated RDW-SD, RDW-CV, PDW, and MPV values may indicate variations in red blood cell and platelet size, which can be seen in various conditions, including nutritional deficiencies, anemia, or chronic diseases, but are not typically specific indicators of cancer, so it's essential to consult with your doctor to discuss these results in the context of your overall health and determine if further testing or evaluation is necessary.
