I was recently in the hospital for severe stomach and chest pains. Blood work shows
WBC at 13.1 - x10E3/UL (Range: 3.4 - 10.8),
Neutrophils (Absolute) 9.7 (Range: 1.4 - 7.0),
C Reactive Protein 14.1 - MG/L (Range: 0.0 - 4.9),
Monocytes (Absolute) 1.1 - X10E3/UL (Range: 0.1 -0.9),
Neutrophils 74%,
Lymphs 16.
I am waiting for another CBC test, but when I looked over my last 3 for the past year, I noticed that all of the values listed above were changing consistently. Meaning, if it was going down, it keeps going down, and vice versa.
The above values were tested once the day I was about to go into the hospital, and again the next day in the hospital.
My primary doctor said that the trends I see with the values changing don't mean anything since values change all the time, and is telling me that the tests basically mean nothing more than some sort of inflammation, and to get my back injection for pain.
I could see the values changing argument if they were fluctuating, but they don't seem to be, they just keep going the same direction.
Considering my age (44), and current health isn't that great to start with (Heart Issues, Enlarged Prostate), and that with everything else being equal, the numbers point to possible Leukemia, or other serious conditions, the numbers above are concerning to me. My doctor told me that a hematologist probably wouldn't even see me with these numbers.
Is this generally true? Or is seeking a specialist a good idea?
Thanks
