I've recently had a blood test, and it shows my eosinophil counts are higher than normal. I've also been having some breathing issues while I'm asleep, with a wheezing sound whenever I breathe in or out. Can you suggest what steps I should take next? Is there anything I can adjust in my diet to help bring my eosinophil counts back to normal levels?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It sounds like your high eosinophil count may be related to an allergic reaction or respiratory issue like asthma. I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly allergy testing. In the meantime, avoid allergens, and include anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3-rich fish, fruits, and vegetables in your diet.
