Glad to see you are in a better frame of mind and that you have a logical and not so scary explanation for your results.

I recently had a health scare too. I was rejected for life insurance, and all they could tell me was that I didn't pass the health test and the results were forwarded to my doctor. All I could do was wait until my doctor called. I panicked and started over thinking everything. Maybe my recent exhaustion was something serious and not from me being stressed about work, life and others things. Maybe this, maybe that. I was a wreck for a week and a half.

Then my doctor called me in and asked me to get in ASAP. They made room for me to come see him the next day (normally takes 3 weeks to get in). It turns out my blood sugar was high and he wanted me tested again. Yes, blood sugar was indeed high, and I have been diagnosed with diabetes. What a relief!

Diabetes is something not to be taken lightly, but it is something you can live with. It is something that can be managed. I have had an easy time managing it so far. I've learned who to have a properly balanced diet. I've lost the weight I've been long wanting to lose. I have found the motivation to cut out the bad sugary things in life. I feel great!

So, I had a scare, it turned out to be not so bad and my health has improved as a result. Worrying didn't do anything to help me and I worried for nothing. So, don't worry about what you may or may not have. Worry about things you control, like how you are getting to work, what you are having for lunch, etc. etc. Worrying will only make you feel worse.
