I'm curious about what the normal body temperature is. I've been feeling okay, but sometimes my body temp goes slightly above 37C. I've taken the RT-PCR test twice and they both came back negative. My D-dimer and CRP levels were also normal. I also took a dengue test which was negative, but my platelet count was low at 117,000. Could this low platelet count be causing a fever?

Question

I'm having some trouble breathing, mostly when I'm walking or at night. It feels like there's something blocking my nose, and sometimes I get a mild chest pain. I saw in my blood test that my hemoglobin is at 10.3gm. I'm just wondering, could these symptoms be because of my low blood count or is there something else going on?

Question

I'm really concerned about my recent blood test results. My haemoglobin level is at 22, and I've been told my uric acid is high. Plus, my cholesterol is considered abnormal, and my SGPT is also elevated. What could this all mean? Should I be worried about any specific health issues, and what steps should I take next?

Question

I'm trying to understand my lab report and I've got some questions. It's mentioned as "Remarks ALERT," and says something about "Predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes." Can you help me make sense of that? My Hemoglobin is at 12.8, MCV is 109.9 fL, MCH is 33.2 pg, MCHC is 30.3 gdL, RDW-SD is 59.3 fL, and RDW-CV is 14.4. Is there something I should be concerned about? What do these terms mean in terms of my health?
