A yellowish tinge to the skin could suggest jaundice, which can develop with certain types of liver, pancreas, or gall bladder problems.  I definitely recommend that you call your doctor and be evaluated.  Take care.

Does that blood test eliminate lithium toxicity?  From a lay perspective that would be my primary concern.

Good luck for any evaluation.
