Blood Drug Testing

Am I worrying too much? Any idea's what this could be? Already ran blood tests for cancer and was clear.?

My doctor was disturbed by a lot of infections and illnesses and anaemia I was getting given my age. Said it was too much for late 20's. I was sent through a series of blood tests, ultrasounds and stuff. My spleen appeared enlarged and my blood counts were a smidge low. Tested me for STD's and cancer. Didn't find anything that would cause spleen to be enlarged. I was going to let it go but now I have a lump on the back of my head that feels like a bruise and it hasn't gone away. I'm still tired and sick often but functioning okay. The lump feels fused to my skull but wasn't there before. I'm thinking it could just be a cyst. It's possible my spleen was just big to begin with. I'm being sent to urologist for one of my frequent infections but it bugs me that it doesn't address the rest of the things I catch. Am I just overreacting? If I get this checked out, am I wasting my dr's time? I don't smoke or drink. I eat healthy but as I've gotten tired I'm not exercising nearly as much as I used to. Thanks WHOISTHE. I liked the gross cyst and abscess possibilities. I'll try the vitamins and go get the lump checked out. I'm not good at remembering pills. Not even when I had prescription pain killers and there was hell to pay when I forgot.

2. http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/enlarged-spleen-causes-symptoms-and-treatments here's a link that might answer some of your questions. be sure that your doctor's are checking for all the factors that can cause an enlarged spleen. if you don't feel comfortable with their answers, then go get a second opinion to be certain. stay positive and do not worry so much. there may be nothing wrong other than you may have a weakened immune system. try to do more exercising and eating healthier to improve your immune system....and take vitamins. if you drink or smoke......STOP! **********go to another doctor..... get a second opinion.....look at the link i sent and have the doctors run tests for these issues to be certain their not one of these.....you know your own body, if it's trying to tell you something, do all you can do to find out what it is.......again, look into taking some multivitamins also. hope you feel better.
