Hi and Welcome to HCM,
Common causes of SOB are chronic bronchitis, allergy, bronchial asthma, anemia, cardiac diseases. Elevated Eosniphils shows Eosinophilia. High monocyte indicates severe infection. Based on the lab studies and symptoms I think the conditions is due to anemia or if you have some sort of allergy you can see elevation of Monocytes and Eosinophils.
Wish you speedy recovery.
Thank you
