Help- low lymphocytes & high nuerophil count
So I went into my doctor because I have been extremely lethargic , so tired , the littlest things make me exhausted , my whole body is aching , joints and chest , in general I feel crappy to say it nicely
My blood work came back and I'm signed up on a patient portal which alerts me to tests that have come back
My neutrophils were 78
My lymphocytes were 17
A little back ground on myself , I am a type 1 diabetic on a insulin pump , I am 35 and had to have a hysterectomy when I was 24 due to having cancer cells in my uterus -
I moved a few months ago and have only seen this doctor twice , so she only knows me by medical records
She wrote me a email stating she couldn't rule out leukemia ( please note this was over a email ) we have never spoken about this face to face and to repeat blood work in 2 weeks .
I was so shocked I called right away after receiving her email -
This is the response I got
" you need to stop worrying your going to give yourself a headache "
Oh my god of course I am worried ! Everyone in my family has passed away from cancer !
My question really is - should I be worried about these low & high numbers ?
They were not like this a year ago ....
Thank you for any help !

I haven't had any colds or flu bugs at all ..
Symptoms started roughly 5 months ago with some achenes here and there then out of no where I woke up one morning about 2 months ago with dizziness & coukdnt even stand for more than a couple of minutes , every bone in my body hurt .
It just got worse from there , with the fatigue , tiredness etc
Not to sound gross but even getting up to potty makes me tired - I

Well,I can help you to narrow down some things and also get some understanding, if you keep replying in a timely fashion.
For starters, tiredness and dizziness *could* have been from anemia (low in red blood cells that carry oxygen), but your CBC ruled that out.
Next we'd suspect dehydration. Are you getting enough water intake?
What did they read when they took your blood pressure?

I drink about 6-8 water bottles a day sometimes more depending on the day
Blood pressure is always good , I'll have to look on my paper to see what it was .

That was fast :)
Next, try this: take you pulse rate after lying down for a few minutes. Then stand and immediately take it again. What are both numbers?
Do you have a blood pressure monitor?
