Just got another set of blood work. Could someone explain?

[justanoob]

I was kind of forced into a cruise on 2/4 when I went to the hospital for Afib, and then found out through a echo that I have possible low ejection fraction 46% (normal is 50-75%)

Since the hospital I have been “cruising” on 350mg test a week. I know it’s not a cruise, and not wise, but it’s what I have been taking. I just got blood work results back, and I want to bring my HDL up, but other then that I think it’s ok, besides my “Absolute Eosinophils” that was out of range, and at 506. What does this mean, and should I look further into it? I’d appreciate any insight, thank you!

Also, I’m going for a second Echo tomorrow because the cardiologist believes my ejection fraction was out of range because I was only out of Afib for 10-20 minutes before they did the echo while I was at the hospitals.

You’re allergic to something. They rise during allergic reactions.

Actually could be infections too. Body is probably under a lot of stress and you are sick/fighting something off.

A 506 eosinophil vs a high limit for 500 I wouldn't think too much of it. The total wbc is normal as well. Surprised they didn't do a crp. How old are you OP?

I didn’t even see the limit. Yeah I’d think nothing of it. I thought the limit was way lower.

I’m 30. I was looking into eosinophil more and seen eczema could cause that to be high? If so, I do get minor flair ups on my trap and arm.

It could be from that. Could also be a parasite. Even then for OP it's about ,1% elevated past normal and if he has AFib and a poor ejection fraction. I would be more worried about that.

I got the second echo done today, still waiting on the results so hoping the cardiologist was right about the lower ejection fraction being related to the hospital doing the test immediately after I came into sinus rhythm.

Re eosinophils, try switching gear.

I'm curious, what was your EF?

My ejection fraction came back at 62%! Back at the start of February it was measured at 46% from the hospital.
