I'm really concerned about my lymphocytes. They've jumped from 14 to 44 in just a month. I don't have any lumps or red patches, but I'm getting infections and bleeding easily. My vitamin D is super low too, just at 5. Should I be worried about these increasing lymphocyte levels? What's causing it?

I'm a bit worried because my RBC count came back as 6.22, and I actually tested it twice in the last 10 months, with readings like 6.24 and 6.1. What could this mean for my health? Should I be looking into other tests, or is donating blood a good way to help bring things back to normal?
Your RBC count of 6.22 is slightly elevated, but it remains within a common range for some individuals, particularly those who are physically active or live at high altitudes. However, it's important to assess other factors, such as overall health and symptoms. Donating blood may help, but I recommend discussing this with your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.
