Hi I Have A Couple Of Questions About Some Blood
Question: Hi I have a couple of questions about some blood work and thyroid and white blood cell count.
I noticed tonight that under where and Adam%E2%80%99s apple would be it%E2%80%99s a bit puffy. I thought it was strange as I had a test in August and my parathyroid intact was 29 and fine. I%E2%80%99m not sure why a whole thyroid panel wasn%E2%80%99t done?
Anyway I started to look back at older blood tests to see if they had done a thyroid test and saw that my white blood cell count was 10.75 and my granulocytes were high at 7.97 on May 7. So then I went and saw that my wbc was higher before on April 14 at 11.59 and granulocytes at 8.45.
Is this something I should be worried about? That my granulocytes were so high?
Also I%E2%80%99m a little puffy I guess where my thyroid is but my August parathyroid test was fine? I also had a ultrasound of that area in this summer and they said my thyroid had only one module which it%E2%80%99s had for over a decade same size.
I guess this all started because my area on my throat is puffy so I started looking for answers.
I%E2%80%99d love to hear your opinions. Thank you!
