What Do The Findings In The Blood Test Suggest, Have Symptoms Like Breathing Difficulty And Swollen Lymph Nodes?
I have been having a lot of different kinds of symptoms over the past 6-7 months that are concerning. Some symptoms include but not limited to: fatigue, pain all over, activity intolerance, shortness of breath, itching (resolved), swollen lymph nodes, and many other symptoms. I feel like I have been struggling with help from healthcare providers especially my primary care provider. I feel like she is being dismissive. Recently I had some blood work drawn CBC, CMP, and Mono Spot test. CMP and Mono Spot test negative. My CBC shows elevated WBC, HCT, and absolute Neutrophils. My HCT has been high in recent past lab draws. No I do not smoke nor have I ever and no there is no way I could be dehydrated. My RBCs and HGB is also on the higher side. Should I be concerned? Does anyone have the slightest clue as to what is going on in my body bc my PCP doesn't seem to care and dismisses everything. CBC results:

Hi,
It would be helpful if you could tell me your age and sex. Also whether you have been losing weight. If you are a male in that case your hb% is fine as we can take an upper limit of 16g/dl for males. Coming to the lymph node enlargement please clarify which lymph nodes are involved (i.e whether in your neck or armpits or groin area) or if present in multiple locations. Another investigation that might help is a peripheral smear where the pathologist will be able to see the actual blood picture rather than a machine generated report. If nothing shows up in that a lymph node biopsy would be advisable. Please follow up with a hematologist for a second opinion.
Hope this helps
