Why are my EBV number so high?

I have been suffering from numerous mysterious health issues for the past few years: horrible headaches, problems with my right arm (which I believe to be thoracic outlet issues), problems sleeping, constantly tired, vertigo, etc. These all became bad after I got sick for an extended period of time. When I was young, about 10 (20 years ago), I got mono. I was starting to wonder if it had reactivated as my scalp was hurting and I remembered mono caused scalp pain for me. I got an independent test done, and my numbers were all quite high. Can anyone help me interpret these results?

EBV Early Antigen Ab, IgG        16.6   High U/mL 0.0 - 8.9 (reference)
EBV Ab VCA, IgG                 118.0   High U/mL  0.0 - 17.9
EBV Nuclear Antigen Ab, IgG    >600.0   High U/mL 0.0 - 17.9
