May be side effects of your medications.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for sending all the reports.

I have gone through your reports and found no abnormality except eosinophilia and a slightly emphysematous lung. Did you have any history of asthma or COPD in past??

Eosinophilia is associated with allergy and worm infestation commonly. You have taken mebex. I would start tab albendazole and tablet montelukast. your doctor will know the doses.

I saw that you were taking some antidepressant and mood stabilizer for your migraine. This drugs sometime give rise to such symptoms. I suggest you discuss with your prescribing doctor.

Hope my answers helped you.
Please ask more queries and i shall be happy to help you.
Regards.
