My blood report shows that my lymphocytes percentage is 59 and my absolute lymphocyte count is 3500 per microlitre. Is it dangerous or not. What is the alarming level of absolute lymphocyte count?

A lymphocyte count of 3500 per microlitre is on the higher side but not necessarily dangerous. This can happen during viral infections, stress, or mild inflammation. The percentage 59 percent is high, but absolute count matters more. Concerning levels are typically greater than 5000 to 6000 per microlitre without infection, or less than 1000 per microlitre. Recheck after 2 to 3 weeks if no clear cause is found. If still high, consult a physician.

I am looking for a pulmonologist for some help. All my blood reports have come back normal, but I have been experiencing dizziness in the evenings along with mild shortness of breath. I would really appreciate it if someone could review my reports.
