I'm really concerned because I've had swollen lymph nodes in areas like my thigh, elbow, and back since 2008. It's been so long and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

Hello, its important to have a thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider to determine the cause of the persistent lymph nodes since 2008. Chronic lymphadenopathy can sometimes be benign, but it may also indicate an underlying condition that requires further investigation. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly some tests to understand the situation better.

So, my dad is 59 and he's had this high d-dimer level at 1.82. He got over COVID about 47 days back. Just after he got discharged, we checked, and the d-dimer was at 0.5, but now it's jumped to 1.82. Plus, his white blood cells went down from 10,000 to 4,000 over these weeks. Is this something we should be really worried about? Can you suggest any treatment or ideas on what's going on?

I'm really feeling worried because I've been experiencing dizziness that almost led to unconsciousness. So, I did some blood tests like Hb1, TSH, and CBC. Hb1 and TSH results are normal, but my CBC shows an absolute eosinophil count of 854, and I've read it should be within the 20-500 range. Also, my neutrophils are at 30, lymphocytes at 50, and eosinophils at 14. I'm not sure what this all means though, and I'm wondering who would be the best specialist to consult about these results?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
