My blood report shows mild leukocytosis, and my lymphocyte count is increasing each month. Currently, my lymphocyte count is 5.67. Is there anything to worry about?

A mild increase in lymphocytes and white blood cells also known as leukocytosis, often reflects recent infections or inflammation. A count of 5.67 is slightly above normal but not worrisome if you are otherwise healthy. Monitor the trend with repeat tests. If it continues to rise or if you develop new symptoms like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, consult a doctor.

My wife complains that she breathes heavily if she walks a few meters, runs, lifts heavy weight or does housework like floor cleaning. Her blood report shows haemoglobin 11.3 and blood sugar is normal. What steps should I take in this situation?
