What Could Cause High Eosinophil Levels?

I have high eosinophil levels and was told it was allergies. I don't have allergies. I have been seen for ovarian cysts lately (ultrasounds determining solids within a cyst, surgery scheduled and then cyst began to decrease in size and surgery was canceled) and I am extremely fatigued, sleeping 10 hours/night, but otherwise I am very healthy. The rest of my CBC was normal and I believe I also had thyroid tests were normal. I am 50 years old, female, 5'2" and I weight 100 pounds. What can cause high eosinophil levels?

Hi,
Looking at the history and laboratory details, further evaluation maybe necessary.
1. IgE levels estimation
2. Allergen test - generalized
3. Stool examination for parasite's cyst and ova.

If these tests are done, depending on the scenario, eosinophils can be reduced if treatment is started.

High eosinophil can increase risk of future allergic attacks and can be severe with organ damage.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
