Hey, I just got my CBC results and I'm a bit confused about what they mean. My haemoglobin is 15.9 gdL, and my total WBC count is 7550. The breakdown is Neutrophils at 72, Lymphocytes at 22, Monocytes at 4, Eosinophils at 2, and Basophils at 0. My RBC count is 6.01, and the HCT is 51.7. The MCV is 86.0 fl, MCH 26.5 pg, and MCHC 30.8 gdL, with RDW at 14.3. Platelet count came out to 285. The remarks said "Normocytic Normochromic blood picture." Can you help me understand if everythings okay or if theres anything I need to be worried about?

Question

I'm a 32-year-old male, and during a comprehensive test I found out that my Vitamin B12 level is at 1892 pgml. For the past 7 years, I've been taking a combination of methylcobalamin 1500 mcg with pyridoxin and folic acid because my homocysteine levels were high at 15.55. Can you help me understand why my Vitamin B12 level is elevated? Is it okay for me to keep taking these tablets, or could there be any issues with high Vitamin B12 levels? Everything else in my reports looks good. Would love your advice on this.

Question

I'm a 37-year-old guy weighing around 60 kg and I've been on enalapril 5 and met xl 12.5 tablets for my hypertension for the last six months. Recently, during a pre-employment medical checkup, I noticed that the RBC count and size in my blood report were highlighted as concerning by the doctor, but they didn't suggest any treatment. My family doctor is back in Kolkata while I'm currently in Oman. What should I do about this? Should I keep taking my meds as usual, or do I need to consider any other treatment or actions?

Question

I'm kinda worried about my blood report since it says there's an alert for predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes anisocytosis. Can you explain what this means? I've attached a screenshot if that helps.
