Brief Answer:
Do not get worried about globulins.

Detailed Answer:
hi,
simple elevation of globulins do not mean anything. They can be seen with infections, connective tissue diseases and rarely cancers.
But cancers would not remain asymptomatic for long time and would have other test abnormalities or clinical symptoms which you do not have.
Hence, I suggest you to remain calm and not worried about globulins.
hope i am clear.
