Unwell feeling

[Babyface]

Hi there!

I just found this forum, and thought I might get someone to answer me, eventhough I dont know very well how it works, here it goes..

I am living on my own in an Arabic Country, and travel a lot to other countries like South Africa, India, Bangladesh, etc.. so I am in contact with many people.

The thing is, I lately dont feel well, I know some thing is not right, but dont know what it is.

I was 8 days with bad Diarreah, when I went to the doctor the resoult was Salmonella. Now I am better from that, but my blood test came out as high neutrophils and low lymphophyls and eosinophyls...Is that normal?

Also yesterday I got a terrible like alergy, on my arms and body, red and very itchy.. I have never been allergyc to anything, and didnt eat anything strange, I actually follow a healthy diet.

Also I usually feel a headache during the day and vety tired, sometimes dizzy or nauseous.

It seems I always have something!! when before i was always fine...

Can this all be simply a resoult of salmonella? I did get salmonella before and none of these symphoms after it...
I dont know

But my biggest concern is actually the meaning of high neutrophyls and low lymphophils and eosinophiles.. what that it mean?

Thanks so much.

How high was the neutrophil count? I've read that a neutrophil reading above 8000 is abnormally high. High neutrophil count may result from high level of stress like exercise, seizures and nervousness. Other possible causes include: sudden bacterial infection, damage or inflammation to tissues, hemolytic anemia and taking corticosteroids.

Eosinophils and lymphocytes may be low as a result of steroid use. Low lymphocyte is also associated with diseases that affect the nerves. I think you should inform your doctor about your headache, nausea and dizziness.

Hello Sue

Thanks for your reply.

The value is not that high, its 7500.. I dont practise sports, and I am not stressed either... Must be hight then due to the Salmonella i had a few days before...

Maybe its all just because of that.

Thanks very much for your soon reply, I apreciate it very much.
