You may have symptoms due to sleep disturbance

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

I think, you are in stress or having symptoms due to sleep disturbance. That may be due to your working hours, you are not getting enough rest to charge yourself. In that case, try to change your working hour for some days. If possible, try to maintain your sleep during day time. If you have any sleep disturbance, then you can try some sleeping pills on sos basis.

If you have more query, you can ask.

Thanks

Hello doctor,

I am worried about my increased lymphocytes. I attached my CBC report also in which my lymphocytes were 47% and the rage is 20 - 40%. My lymphocytes were elevated. I don't think I have any infection in my body. I feel fatigue or weak.

Not my question is about my increased lymphocytes and uric acid.
Lymphocytes: 47%
uric Acid: 8.9

I am not running on any medications. And in my precious test I never seen my lymphocytes going up. I get my test every year. Only this time I see some disturbance in my CBC test.


LFT test: elevated SGPT and SGOT. They are due to my alcohol consumption.

Brief Answer:
Just maintain your sleep

Detailed Answer:
HI

Increase lymphocyte in your case could be due to any infection like sore throat, gastric upset or stress etc. There is marginal increase in lymphocyte count and there is no major significance of that. On basis of blood reports, we never make diagnosis. Diagnosis depends upon signs and symptoms. In your case, fatigue, laziness, anxiety, increase thirst etc are more towards either stress or sleep disturbance.

Better to do some relaxation exercise or maintain your sleep. You would stay better with that. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks,

I was worried about my elevated lymphocytes. After your answered my question I am feeling ok now. I will get my CBC test again in another two weeks. As per you there is nothing to worry about my elevated lymphocytes :-). no more check is required only proper sleep :-)

I have decreased my alcohol consumption. For the last 11 days only one beer and 30 ML whiskey. Today I will either have whiskey or beer due to good weather, but only 90 ml.



Thanks again! XXXXXXX

Just relax and you would fine in few days. Body works the way we think. If you think in negative way, your body would response in same way. There is nothing to worry about blood test. Just maintain your sleep and you would get your energy back.
