I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's done over 4 blood tests, and each one shows her B12 level is really high. She's not really sick or anything, but lately she's been feeling dizzy, and I'm wondering if it could be related to her diet. Should we be worried about how high her B12 is?

It should not be a cause for worry if Vitamin B12 levels are high. Her dizziness may be related to BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). You should take her to an ENT specialist to get a confirmed diagnosis.

I recently got my blood test results and I'm a bit concerned about a few things that came up. The report shows that my PDW (platelet distribution width) is 18.9fl, which is 3.7 points above the normal range. My MPV (mean platelet volume) is also 1.5 points higher than it should be, and the PLCR (platelet to large cell ratio) is elevated by 11.5 points. But the MCV (mean corpuscular volume) seems to be normal. Could you help me understand what these high numbers mean? Is this something I should be worried about?
