I'm really concerned about my brother. His CBC report shows elevated neutrophils at 7.59, low lymphocytes at 17, eosinophils at 0.54, TLC is at 10.3, and his RBC count is 4.45. The other day he fainted after being outside in the heat. What could be causing this? I'm quite worried and just want to understand what's going on.

Question

I'm a bit confused about my recent blood test results. My RBC count came out to be 5.88 million per cubic millimeter, and the report states the normal max range is 5.6 millioncu mm. But when I looked it up online, I found that for men, the max range can be up to 6.1 millioncu mm. I'm trying to figure out which range is correctshould I be worried that mine is slightly above the report's limit, or is it actually within the normal range according to other sources?

Question

I'm trying to understand my blood test results and I'm a bit confused about some of the terms. It mentions that my RBC is normocytic normochromic with mild anisopoikilocytosis and that my WBC has a lymphocytic predominance with mild eosinophilia. The report also says that my platelets are adequate on the smear. Could you help explain what this all means? I'm feeling a bit worried about these findings.
