Should I Consult A Haematologist Regarding My Extreme Fatigue?

my last two sets of bloodwork have been somewhat abnormal, and I am curious as to why. Both times that I have had the blood drawn, I have not been sick, nor treated with any antibiotics or followed up on. The first set of labs my WBC was 12.5, Baso was 3%, and absolute neut was 8.3. Fast forward 3 weeks, and I was having some abdominal pain without any other symptoms, so they decided to do more labs. This time, WBC was 16.1, Baso was 2.3%, and absolute neut was 12.6. I am wondering if it is wise to consult with a hematologist or to basically wait it out, as the only symptom I have at the moment is extreme fatigue. Thank you in advance for any insight you can give me.

Hematologist,  's  Response
You need some investigation. Just now no need to go to haematologist. Wait go to the physician. You may have some infection or just like that.only thing to concern is your basophil count. It should not be increased. Otherwise other parameters are of not much concerns. Just go to physician and take treatment. No need to worry.
