Should I worry?

Hi everyone,

I an new here and want to share my situation for advice.

I am 40 years old male and I have been living with extreme fatigue with vague wavy sensation in brain with body aches for few months now. I approached my GP who ordered CBC and some blood tests which I am going to share its results.
CBC: Low MCHC, Low MCH, Low neutrophil, borderline basophil and 10% hypochromasia but normal ferritin, normal mcv, normal white blood cell and normal rbc.
Liver Functions: slightly high serum protein 81g/L but normal Albumin.
Globulin: slightly high IgA 2.89g/l
GFR: 85 dropped from 90 in one year.
Bone Profile: Slightly high serum calcium 2.60.
Low Folate and Vitamin D but normal B12

I am wondering if these results yelling for something!

So, should I worry? and how should i approach my gp if there is something?

Many thanks,

Hi @showlive thanks for sharing your results and welcome to our forum.
From what you say it does not appear that you have seen your GP about your results yet.
All tests are fact finding to rule conditions in or out and it is very difficult with very generic symptoms.
Perhaps you have got your main questions in your post. Your GP ordered the tests.
I always write my fears, questions and practicalities down before appointments to make sure I cover them.
If it is playing on your mind, perhaps ask it.
Please do let us know how you get on and really look after yourself.

Hi @showlive and welcome to the forum.
As @Erica has said, it’s really important to talk these through with your GP as results could mean a number of things and they are the best to advise.
Have you got a follow up appointment with your GP to discuss your results?

Hi @showlive
Thank you for your post.
We are sorry to hear about the symptoms you are experiencing.
We are unable to give individualised medical advice, but if you have any concerns at all about your health, we would strongly encourage you to speak to a member of your healthcare team, such as your GP, as soon as possible.

To get the most of your appointment, it may be helpful to mention that it is blood cancer specifically you are concerned about, as sometimes this is not at the forefront of their mind due to the disease sharing lots of signs and symptoms with other conditions.

It may be helpful to read over our pages Blood cells | Blood Cancer UK and 'Blood cancer symptoms and signs’ as this contains information on what to look out for, as well as prompts for questions you might like to ask your doctor.

Do let us know how you get on.
Best wishes & take care,
Emma (support services nurse)
