Just received my bloodwork results and I’m feeling anxious because I don’t know what the numbers mean. My appointment isn’t until the 23rd so I will be on edge until I see my doctor.

@kmmungin Remember to breathe! You have a few more days before your appointment. Now is the time to write out any questions you have. My advice is to not go onto "Dr. Google" and read up on things. If you have additional health issues, your doctor is going to look at the entire picture and guide you. Be sure to have them repeat anything that is not clear to you. If you have a trusted friend or family member to accompany you, do so. Two sets of ears are better than one!

Now, make a cuppa tea, pull down the cookie tin, and relax. You got this! Be sure to eat sensibly, get some moderate exercise, get outside in the fresh air and walk. Write out your fears and thoughts. This will go a long way to help you relax. It is normal to fear what we don't understand completely. Remember, we are here for you, and will help you.

Don’t wait till the 23rd. Call your physician. Yes, they are busy but I imagine your anxiety is worse than their stress.
I purposefully do not look at lab results until I am sitting in my doctors office and we go over them together. I schedule a lab appointment the day before I see my physician.
Ginger likes Dr Google but i do not. She is a harsh diagnostician and her glass is truly half empty. I avoid her rigidly. But you may have more tolerance than I do for her worst case scenario fixation. 😉
Let us know what your doctor says, but you do not have to wait until the 23rd. Do give him or her a call. If nobody from your doctors office will at least take a perfunctory look at these labs with you on the phone or in person, that’s harsh to expect you to wait. I’m sure my hematology/oncology physician rolls his eyes, but he will call me back and go over things if I am stressed out.
Best of luck.
