I recently had some blood work done as I went to the doctor just feeling off. When the results came back, my white cell count is high and so are some non-specific inflammatory marker. The inflamatory marker is almost 3 times normal sitting at 13 with a range 0-5.
So the doctor thought I could have some inflamation somewhere. He checked my tonsils as I get tonsilitis and general infected/inflamed tonsils regularly but havent had an issue now for maybe 4 months or so. Tonsils are all clear. He felt around my stomach and sides feeling for any inflammation or tenderness to give him an indication where the inflamation may be...but to no avail...he found nothing. The doctor said physically I seem completely healthy.
Otherwise, Im 19 relatively healthy - my only health issue is my platelet count is always high due to a hereditary blood disorder (only affects red cells and platelets not white cells) and I have thyroid issues...
What else could be causing white cells and inflamatory markers to be elevated?
Thanks :)
