My white blood cell count isn't increasing, and I've been experiencing some discomfort in my chest and heart area. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Could these issues be related, and should I consider getting some tests done?

I would recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can consider taking antibiotics like Amoxicillin (dosage: 500mg-875mg) to help increase white blood cell count and relieve any potential infection. Additionally, medications like Aspirin (dosage: 75mg-325mg) can help with chest pain by reducing inflammation.

I recently did a random blood test because I was feeling kind of light-headed, and the results got me a bit worried. My neutrophil count is at 80%, lymphocytes are at 15%, and my total WBC count is 10500. I'm 18, so I'm not sure if these numbers are normal for someone my age. Could you help me understand what this might mean?
