Hi there,
First, I want to apologize for taking so long to get to this question.
Your bloodwork seems to be normal- although your lymphoctye count may be on the low side (although it can vary depending on the lab, so check your results to see what your lab lists as normal). I do think though, that you should be tested for Hep C, even though your liver function and enzymes are normal.. This isn't part of routine bloodwork, and you'll have to ask for it specifically.
Also concerning to me is your blood pressure, which is too high, especially for your age. The fact that your pulse was fast makes me think you may have been anxious, but you need to have your blood pressure rechecked anyway, and if still high, you should consider some lifestyle changes and weight reduction.
Best of luck,
JMK MD
