Hi there recently my Dr. Told me my eosinophil punt was at 23%. I have been renovating my house and living here for the past 6 months during dry walling, painting, etc. she suggested I drop all of my vitamins and retest in 2 months but this seems awe fully high and it would make more sense this would be environmentally related more than vitamin? Seems like a broad stroke request (especially without a list of supplements). I feel that it should be addressed before 8 weeks. Should I be concerned?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor . The commonest causes of elevated Eosinophil counts are Hay fever, Atopic dermatitis, Asthma, Parasitic infestations. Rare causes are Chung -Strauss syn Chat Doctor. Assuming that you are not suffering from evident allergic symptoms like sneezing, itching or irritation of eyes or nose, breathlessness , cough etc. that can be caused by the renovation of your house then the second most likely cause could be to check for parasitic infestations by getting your stool samples tested for ova and cysts. Hope it helps.
