I am 67 years old and have been experiencing chest pain. My blood report shows a low count of monocytes, and my chest X ray shows no signs of any problem. I believe the chest pain might be due to acidity.

Chest pain with normal X ray and mild blood changes is often due to acidity or muscular causes. Still, keep a watch, if it recurs or worsens, get an ECG.

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a LIVER FUNCTION TEST (LFT) Test

Who are bigger, the red blood cells or the white blood cells?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, I am 5 months pregnant with my first baby. In my recent blood test, my platelet count has risen to 700,000, and my WBC is 11,200, which seems high. My doctor has advised me to do PT, APTT, INR, and Hb electrophoresis and to consult a hematologist. This is the first time my platelet count has been elevated, my last report was completely normal. Could this change be related to pregnancy? I am unsure how to proceed and would like guidance, as all my other reports are normal.
