Brief Answer:
Low vitamin D3 level might be the cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM
I appreciate your concerns.
I have gone through your reports.
This high relative lymphocyte count is not related to the swelling for sure,unless you are having fever and other infectious symptoms.
Your vitamin D3 level is very low.
That might be the cause of your symptoms.
TSH level is also normal.
Now I shall advise you to take vitamin D3 tablets weekly.
Your doctors will know the doses.
You may check your blood pressure and Xray of your knee joint consulting your doctor.
That will be helpful in diagnosis.
Hope this will help you.
Regards.

I am on Vit D medications. my Doc told body swelling is not cause of D deficiency.
My concern was whether that much fluctuation in lymphocyte can be ignored or should i consult any other doctor.
