Elevated eosinophils may indicate allergy or parasite, high TGL/HDL increases heart risk. Lifestyle changes, diet control and possibly medication help. Do the required lipid profile recheck and rule out cause for eosinophilia.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Lipid Profile Test Test or Take a STOOL EXAMINATION, PH & REDUCING SUBSTANCES Test

Question

I am a 29 year old male suffering from allergic rhinitis and asthma. Around three months ago, I developed severe breathlessness and underwent a chest X ray, blood test, and PFT test. The chest X ray was normal. My FEV1/FVC ratio was 81 percent, and my FEV1 was 71 percent. My blood report was also normal except for an elevated eosinophil count of 440. For the past 2.5 months, I have been using Seroflo 250/25 (4 puffs daily) and Rhine M nasal spray regularly. While I am no longer experiencing severe breathlessness, I still have some breathing discomfort, especially when lifting weights as low as 10 kg or when climbing stairs quickly. I would like to know whether I need a stronger medication or if there is an alternative treatment that might be more effective.

Question

I have attached my brother blood test report. I noticed that his eosinophil count is slightly higher than normal. Could you please explain what this means, and whether he needs any treatment or precautions?
