Last week I had a full blood count along with coeliac screening. I had the blood test while I had the flu or some sort of infection.
Received a letter in the post today from my GP saying they had tried numerous times to contact me (they didn’t) and that I should book an appointment at my earliest convenience. I’m already in a phase of high anxiety due to my stomach (see my recent posts) so this sent me into overdrive.
Phoned up the surgery and they said my GP would call me back, which he did almost an hour later.
He explained that it’s ‘nothing dangerous and nothing to worry about’ but he wants me in for repeat blood test. Apparently, my red blood and white blood count is higher than usual, some inflammatory markers are present and liver markers are also a bit high.
I don’t know what to make of this. I told him I get worried easily but he replied saying I should relax and enjoy my weekend and come see him on Monday.
