There can be multiple reasons for high blood cell count. Primarily due to low oxygen levels, certain medications and cancer

I have sickle cell anemia and beta thalassemia. I have attached my recent blood report for your review. Could you please advise on the next steps for my treatment and management?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Nine years ago, I had an infection following a dog bite, which caused my eosinophils to increase significantly, and I was on bed rest for 8 months. Since then, I have been doing a CBC test every year. I have noticed that my WBC and platelets have been decreasing year after year, and I randomly experience body itching. My WBC and platelets have now fallen to the lower margins. Why is this happening? Does the infection from 9 years ago have any role in this, or is there some other reason? I have consulted many doctors and searched online, but I cannot understand the reason. Can anyone help me understand this?

I have been experiencing breathing problems for the past 10 days. I have attached my blood report.
