I'm looking at my blood test results and it mentions something about normocytic normochromic RBCs. I'm a bit confused about what that really means for my health. Could you help me understand the potential causes behind this and what impact it might have on me?

Normocytic normochromic RBCs indicate that your red blood cells (RBCs) are normal in size (normocytic) and color (normochromic), suggesting that your RBCs are healthy and functioning properly, but this result can also be seen in early stages of anemia

I'm a bit worried about my mean platelet volume being at 14.8. Does that seem unusually high or just slightly above normal? How can I bring it back to a more typical range? Any advice would be appreciated!
