I'm freaking out

I have chronic leukocytosis (elevated WBC), elevated RBC, Hypercalcemia, elevated platelets, and chronic elevated D Dimer. I'm Extremely tired, yet can't sleep due to pain in hips and sternum. I am nauseous the majority of the time with some episodes of vomiting. Muscles twitch often. I am having issues with concentration lately.  I have a minimal appetite with abdominal pain and tachycardia what could be wrong? Totally freaked out ER doctor wants me to see a hematologist/ oncologist.

Hi jinnene.....sorry you are having discomfort.  It is possible that you are having problems with you parathyroid (parathyroidism) which discribes nausea, hypercalcemia, vomiting....also gallstones can be hell as far as issues with stomach goes, another thing is check into urinary tract infection as well. I'm not sure what yr you were born but if you are a baby boomer get checked for Hep C as well. Good luck and I hope you feel better and find a good hematologist they do better blood work ups than reg Md
Be Well
