- Hi everyone! In this video I talk about having an abnormal blood test result which can be super worrying for the person it’s happening to. This has happened to me many times over the years! I hope this video brings you some comfort to know that you are never alone. Please note, I'm not a doctor or a medical professional. Please never take my own experiences over the advice over your doctors.

IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, I won’t be responding to Instagram messages anymore. I hope you guys understand. It’s not an easy thing for me to have to say. Back when I first started my channel I had very little subscribers so this was something I could do easily but now as my channel has grown and that I’m a mother to two very young children, it’s impossible for me to respond to everyone. I currently have 92 unread messages in my inbox and that’s only from last week. I’ve also been getting a lot of rude and hurtful messages of people saying that I’m fake because I’m not responding or sending me message after message demanding for my attention. It’s been getting me so down and people have said some horrible things. I know how it feels when you’re desperate. Truly, I do. I’ve been there and it’s sucks. But please remember I am just one person. A lot of people are also asking me for medical advice but please remember I am not a doctor. I’m just like you.
If you want to get in touch, I offer health anxiety talking sessions which you can book here - cherellethinks.setmore.com
I also have a health anxiety support page on Facebook that I interact with a lot. Just type in ‘Health Anxiety Community’ and you should find it. Lastly, I also do regular Q&A’s on my Instagram too where I can answer any questions people may have. I hope you understand and it’s never my intention to upset anyone. There just isn’t enough hours in the day. Thanks so much. X
I suffer from this and it's absolutely excruciating. For 5 months, on three different blood draws, my red blood count, hemoglobin and hematocrit have been elevated. It's concerning to my doctor so she referred me to a hematologist. It's not until april, and I am just beside myself in grief and have Googled and convinced myself that I must have some kind of blood cancer. If this hadn't happened on three different blood draws over 5 months, I wouldn't be worried. But those numbers have not come down and I'm convinced it's something sinister. Can anyone relate?
Cherelle I just wanna say thank you because last July-October I was in the worst place with health anxiety and now I’ve been fully anxiety free for many months and I feel like the biggest reason behind it is your videos! Thank you so much
Wanted to share something with other people with health anxiety. If your platelets count is slightly elevated and you google that and read that such a result is considered to be an indicator of some kind of malignancy, don't worry that much about it. I read the whole study and it turns out that the correlation is very low if you are young(ish) and the count is not even that high. And even among older people with count which was twice as high as the upper limit who were included in the study, the majority did not have any type of cancer.
Cherelle, I know you hear or read this often, but thank you. You may or may not realize it, but your videos are so helpful. It helps me to calm my anxiety in difficult times. You are a gift to all of us suffering from HA. Many blessings to you and your loved ones. 🙏🏻
I wonder how many people watching third have digestion issues from anxiety. Me✋🏻.
I wish you had posted this video about 6 months ago as this exact thing happens to me. I found a lymph node and went to the dr for a checkup and my bloodwork came back abnormal. Of course I freaked out and googled every possible reason for this! When I returned a month later to redo the bloodwork everything was normal and the lymph node is benign! Thank you for your videos! They are so helpful! 💕
This is so true. Thank you for addressing this issue. I used to worry and it turned out to be nothing. Doctors do not tell us this.
Such a helpful video as always!!! I have this a lot, I’ve been through phases where I got my bloods done every 3-6months, haven’t had them done since last august and have an appointment to get them done in June so nearly a year, then I’m going to focus on moving that to at least a year for the next time. But I had similar experiences my WBC is always slightly high, 11.3 ish and doctors are never worried it’s not medically significant and it’s pretty common for high levels of stress and anxiety to effect the white blood cells either up or down. We just have to focus on continuing to try and heal and not focusing on a number being a little out of range, our blood changes all the time! 💖
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true! I have been through this several times and I have had to learn to just listen to the doctor.
Cherelle, thank you so much! I got so much fear and my eye doctor got very sick from leukemia! It scares me so much to this day! I appreciate so much how you explain everything so well and my anxiety has just left as of right now! Much love- Alexander
Thank you so much for your comment! Glad to have helped. 💜
This video is what I needed today. I’ve been freaking out and having a mental breakdown and terrible dreams after some blood tests results weren’t what I wanted (my creatinine levels were higher then I would like but still normal).
Oh my goodness, this was such a perfect video for me to see. I recently had blood work done, just for a normal yearly check up. My liver numbers are usually at the low end, say it’s measured with my doctor as 8-35. I’m usually mainly around 10-12. Well this last time it was 20. Which as you see is still within their range. However it was so much higher than usual I was SO scared. I called my doctor and she assured me that because it was still within the “normal” range I should not be concerned. She doesn’t see any reason to recheck. My liver numbers have never been elevated and I have had so much blood work because of all my ER visits she said it was fine. Of course my health anxiety sees it as a problem…..So I have to just sit with it and accept that it is fine and I am ok. It’s hard, but I’m learning to trust and move on. Thanks for this very timely video. ❤
Thank you for doing this video and explaining what you went through...no stress 😮
Thank you so much for this video. I had a text from my GP saying to book an appointment whenever I can (meaning it clearly isn't urgent), but here I am convinced that I have prolactinoma, leukaemia, and that my kidneys and liver are going to explode in the next week.
Hopefully it's none of that. If it turns out to be nothing in particular I'm going to quit with going to follow-ups for a little while. A couple of times a year or if I genuinely feel unwell will be plenty for me.
Hey how are you now?
I just had bloods done & all was OK bar one.. Kidney sodium low. So had em done again 24hours later and the had gone up to nearly normal the doc wanted me to wait like you 6weeks so I contacted 111 & they was brilliant he told me latest results were not concerning phew I was scrapping myself,... Thanks for your videos they are fantastic I watch everyday with this bloody health anxiety etc etc
It’s crazy that you’ve made this video! I had a similar experience last year and remember searching your channel to see if you’d spoken about it. My platelet and white blood cells were low on 2 tests and I nearly had a full breakdown. I couldn’t eat or sleep and my anxiety symptoms exploded!! It was a really rough time. A great dr then explained to me that it’s normal to have fluctuating bloods to a degree, people have different normals and there are so many things that impact your bloods which aren’t horrible diseases - stress, exercise, diet, minor infections you don’t even know you have etc. It’s when readings are off the charts that they get concerned. Anyway on my third test I was normal and then on a 6 month follow-up I was normal again. Feel like a plonker now 😂
This made me feel sooooo much better😭
Thank you so much for this. Even if my results are in the “normal range” I am not okay. Mine have to be in the optimist functional range as per naturopathic doctors. Yes, my health anxiety is very very severe. OCD! My white blood cell count went down over the last 18 months and I was convinced something was wrong. But it turned out it was a good sign. I’m just primed for catastrophe. Thank you for sharing so honestly. I feel alone in my blood test crazy.
Yes, I am primed for catastrophe also! It's horrible!!
I received a call this morning from my dr office saying my blood is abnormal, and need to set an appointment to discuss. Lot of things going through my mind after I received that call. What could that be? Is it cancer? What?. All negative thoughts running to my head. I did made an appointment to see my Doctor less than two weeks from today (10/13/23).
After listening to your video it calmed me down. Thank you, I really appreciate you video. Take care.
I just had some labs come back with a slightly raised RBC and I'm freaking out. Thank you for your videos, they always help me so much ❤️
How raised was your RBC?
@@sanchezgirls327 it was 4.26 and the normal range ended at 4.20. But I’ve had labs 3 times since then and my RBC has been back in the normal range every time now!
Thank you for video! Last time my crp was high also. And all doctors was so calm and says no worry it's ok.But ofcourse i start to google... Better to listen doctors but i know it's so diffucult.
My one was CKD. I went running before my blood test which raised creatinine levels. At my GP visit my blood pressure was also high due to white coat syndrome. GP organised repeated bloods, kidney ultrasound and 24 hour blood pressure monitoring. I had to wait 6 weeks for it! During the wait I of course googled high blood pressure and raised creatinine…chronic kidney disease! My urine output suddenly changed (loads more than normal) and I developed pain in my sides. The symptoms were real but looking back I can see how they were all somaticised. All tests came back normal and the kidney symptoms have now gone.
My last 3 complete blood panels showed certain levels being and I thoroughly convinced myself that I had a rare blood cancer. I even started to manifest the symptoms. Never figured out why my levels were high but my last draw was normal.
Isn't it just mind blowing how we can manifest symptoms that match these crazy disease ?
I have my FBC coming up and health anxiety is the worse. Very informative video.
Wishing you all the best! 💜
My Creatinine is always low and the doctors always flag it and tell me to drink more water even though I drink tons but for the last 10 years it’s always been about the same. I had my blood labs done probably 3-4 times this year 😩 my creatinine is always like 0.4-0.7
The body can take care of itself if you give it what it needs. A pescatarian diet that consumes a cup of veggies per meal and fatty fish three times a week helps against auto-immunities. For low platelet count, Papaya leaf extract can help. Astragulas and Echinacea can help not only bring the white blood cell count up to normal, but also improve the quality of white blood cells. But these things work best with the diet I mentioned. Burdock root can help with liver and skin detox.
I am gonna do a full bodyscan. I am scared for my bloodtest results because i read of a type of cancer where first your blood platelets get really high and then very low. I already got my blood tested but now i am scared that when they do that again, the platelets will be lower because i convinced myself that i was in the stage of cancer in which the platelets go from high to low so the range looks normal now.
I’m nervous because my copper level came back low. It’s 79 and the lowest it should be is 80. I’m freaking out that I have Wilson’s disease or something else. I want to get them redone but it’s only been a week since the blood test.
Thank you Cherelle your videos are so reassuring. I just had bloods that showed very high B12.. having another check in 3 months and was totally freaking out.. feel much more reassured watching your video: also had bad myoclonic jerks last night. Haven’t had a panic attack in years and for some reason last night convinced myself I was having a reaction to anti biotics! Anxiety is awful and agree it’s affects every cell in our body. Well wishes to you, you are inspiring x

Did you ever have kidney results that were impacted by stress? I have never had a problem with kidney function and then I went into this stressed state and got a hundred tests. The test indicated some minor kidney issues, but nothing that impacts the pain I have. These days my urine is also bubbly - very frustrating. They told me to come back in a few months for testing.
I had bloods done 4 days ago and got a text today saying I need to contact my doctor to discuss my recent bloods. I rang them and they said my blood results were “abnormal” straight away I panicked and asked the receptionist could the doctor call me straight away. But she said the doctor would call me in a weeks time 😳 I then asked if it was serious I would be seen sooner ? She said it doesn’t say urgent but just that your blood results is abnormal so do not worry. But I really can’t help but panic due to my anxiety 😥
How are you now? Going through this at the moment
Me too bud I'm in agony with back pain bulged discs and have stomach cramps vomiting etc so I'm very worried to
This happened to me recently, I had a full blood count done on me and it came back showing that my liver enzymes were slightly raised and I freaked out.
@@drealove9351 I have similar.
Are you a drinker?
My triglycerides were 173 and my mch was 33.3 it's probably due to stress not getting enough sleep and dehydration. But everything else in the blood test looked good. Also I have axienty as well. I'm really scared about triglyceride levels though. Eventhough I had a pharmicist that read the blood test and assured me that I'm overall a pretty healthy person. Also I haven't been exercising enough that's also probably why. I hope that someone that's a doctor on RUclips will respond to me to assure me that the pharmacist and the nurse I talked to that I'm pretty healthy overall.
I had slightly higher EOS due to chronic anxiety and allergies scared tf out of me.
When you told about your mom being anxious but never getting any tests done, I smiled, because this is exactly what my mom and I were talking about a couple of days ago after I had a major episode of panic attack! She said: "Wow, I literally never think about my heartbeat and I haven't done a blood test for years". Oh, how I wish to be this carefree again!
Also, I had a basic blood test done the last summer and I freaked out seeing my lymphocytes being on the lowest normal rate. I literally freaked out, but my doctor didn't pay attention to it at all.
What's worse is I keep having these bruises on my legs and it seems like it will never end. I'm scared as hell to go to the doctor with that issue. I do know there may be a million of reasons for that, but I've already catastrophised the possible outcome. I just don't seem to handle the possibility of additional tests. Health anxiety is hell
Hi! How are you? I have bruises all over my legs too, hope you’re well!!
Its iron deficiency i too have
Today ove become fulky convinced ive got throat cancer i have white marks in different spots, i know i have health anxiety but right now it feels lile intuition and its so difficult to stay calm. Sorry just needed to vent. Thanks for the videos they help x
I'm sorry for your suffering. I know how that feels. I always considered myself to be highly intuitive and recently, reading about intrusive thoughts, I realised how much I have been mixing up intuition and intrusive thoughts. It has brought me much liberation to question that super intuition.
@@yasminem.s.9498 yea I have that too. Intrusive thoughts makes you believe whatever condition it is. That it’s true. N it scares me lol like literally
I had abdominal blood results once, as this was only because i was just getting over a cold
Suffer with GBs CIDP for over 5yrs and Anxiety and Depression
Had fair share of blood tests results
Latest Red cell count low and B12 through the roof
Agree thought i had Leukaemia
Lung cancer etc Doctor said iam fine
But panic sets in
I’ve last year I went to the ER 6 times twice they told me my potassium was low which is surprisingly because I have a banana in my green smoothie every morning.
I Recently Had Blood work Done But I Didn't Realize I Should Have Abstained From Eating Before The Test, So My Blood Work Came Back Abnormal & I Am A Very Anxious Person Every Day Of The Week, I Hope You Can Tell Me Something About This, Thank You
Found this video today. Am going through this same thing, so I’ll wait another 6 weeks and see what the CBC is.

I have a blood test nd my white blood test is high
Every time my blood count is abnormal it’s for no reason or dehydration
I have been having abnormal blood results,, My mom died from melanoma cancer, I am feeling scared, I don't wanna get sick, I dont feel sick, Please get back to me I need to talk to someone :( PS I suffer from SA etc
For the first time my blood work has come back abnormal in two areas. I'm still not sure about one of them and I'm living in fear daily but I have to turn to God with this problem because I believe he is the only one that can help me. I've made a appointment with a new PCP so I can have answers. I pray that my prayers are answered. Also I wish you the absolute best and pray that you are %100 fine.

Hey my daughter is your age and she has those hundreds blood spots too! They went away and came back and blood test shows Low platelets .We are so nervous we don’t want to repeat .Hers 130,000 platelets
Hello! I’m sorry your daughter has had to deal with this too! It can be really scary and Google can give some scary answers! There’s a few things that can cause low platelets. For me, mine normalised in the end and the blood spots went away. Hopefully you get answers soon. Wishing you all the best. 💜

Plz answer anexity causes leg pain and burning leg?
Hey! That’s not something I have myself ever experienced but anxiety can certainly cause a wide range of strange symptoms! But of course, I’m no doctor so I can’t really comment!
I experienced this for months and did lots of tests. I got inflammation markers and got a positive autoimmune result but no specific autoimmune markers that my doctor said there is nothing to treat despite positive test. They said inflammation and pain are most probably from extra weight (I am obese). My friends insist this pain sounds exactly like sciatica that they suffer from. I did not lose any weight, but I started psychotherapy and addressing life stresses and the pains stopped completely for 5 months, and recently my anxiety hit me again and I felt the pains again. This is my experience.
Pls anx. Anxity causes white blood cells high
And also hemoglobin low
Anyone ever get blood test results that indicate kidney failure? High creatanine, low gfr, high potassium.
My blood test came back with high liver and slightly high white blood cell so freaking out for sure
Same her my white blood cells came back slightly higher than usual and my Vitamin B12 is high. Did you get your results?
@@stacey5204 all clear now! It was a type of hepatitis that you can get from food. Tested positive from that after seeing a gut doctor.
@@brandondeener me too just earlier, came back with high white blood cells along with no ova parasite found in my intestine, could be gut problem? at this point i hope its that and not cancer
High liver is normal and so many things can cause elevation i.e. excercise; alcohol
Have you ever experienced hair loss??
I did. Anxiety brings stress, stress brings hairloss.
hey can anxiety cause like a sharp pain on your forehead?
yes, tension headache. and if ur breathing is irregular that could ALSO give you all kinds of headaches.

Just got my blood tests results back, Dr calls me by phone to say they have detected liver disease 😳 that's it said she will discuss it with her colleagues and call me back, think she said something was detected and it began with the B, She never called back and that was 3 wks ago l have been feeling very tried, Eyes watering, and like pin picks or bee stings all over, 3yrs ago they said l had kidney disease again nothing done no follow up nothing, bloody NHS
