ok, i had a stomach bug, on the 2nd day, i went to the doctor, she did a urine test, there was protein in my urine, so she shcked my blood levels cuase of it, she found my hemoacrat, hemoglobin and white blood count were all elevated, so my doctor told me to come back in 4weeks for another blood test to check them, here is why i am scared, i am a 34 year old male, nonsomker, dont drink either, but I am on meds for high blood pressure and also for afib, both are under control, i had a heart cathe done last december, no blockages,last august, my heart doc did a ct on me, than sent me to a lung doctor,they found a 4mm nodule ON the lower lobe and a 5mm ON the upper lobe , both on the right lung, so the lung doctor wanted me to wait till this past january for another CT, bootm nodule was the same, the one on the upper grew one more mm in size, since it grew slightly than instead of a year to wait, he wants me to wait 8 months, this upcoming october, is all of this related?? should I be worried?? thanks in advanced

Lung nodules are acutally quite common. Although your high levels would indicate an infection, the size of the nodules don't seem to suggest cancer.  It is possible they are connected...but it is really a question you should be asking your DR. The link included gives you an overview of lung nodules, the causes, cancerous vs. benign, and will help you determine other questions you should be asking your DR. Even if you don't have a visit scheduled, you should be able to call and either speak the the DR himself or the Nurse on staff. I don't have your chart in front of me to see the whole picture, so is difficult to say. I would also suggest if your DR was TRULY concerned about your condition, he would be moving at a faster pace to either do further testing or correcting the situation.  Try this link out and maybe consider getting a second opinion.
