[|Human|] hi, iam lakshmi my eosinophils are 498 in absolute count and the normal range is 40-440 and basophils are 0. this should be a cause of concern. according to pft report i have asthema but my chest was always clear. suggest me some test for clearing my doughts.
[|AI|]  HI, do you have any symptoms like shortness of breath, forced respiration, tightness of chest, wheezing and coughing, bronchoconstriction released by bronchodilator like albuterol, these symptoms may be present throughout the year in reduced intensity and aggravate in special situation, or they may manifest themselves only in special situation like after moderate or severe exercise, cold weather, exposure to smoke, air pollen or fumes, formaldehyde, cigarette smoke, or even house dust. These symptoms with suggestive PFT IS HIGHLY INDICATIVE OF ASTHMA, and if these symptoms and also PFT results improves with bronchodilator (albuterol) inhalation then it almost confirms the diagnosis. Even though for your clarification you can go for methacholine challenge test, chest X RAY, complete panel allergen test, and albuterol response test.I suggest you to avoid those conditions which precipitate your symptoms, have regular spirometry to follow up this condition, take your Chat Doctor. Wish you all the best.
