I've recently had a blood test, and I'm a bit worried because my ESR is pretty high at 56mm, and my MCH and MCHC levels are low. What could this mean? Should I be concerned about anything in particular? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give me.

Question

I'm dealing with a really low hemoglobin level, it's currently at 4. I'm quite concerned about this and unsure what to do next. I don't have any other health issues though. Can you suggest what steps I should take?

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.

Question

I'm a bit concerned after getting my blood test results. My hemoglobin level showed up at 17.7, which I've read could mean I have polycythemia. Do you think I should see a specialist about this? And if so, what kind of specialist would be the right one to get in touch with? I'm also curious about what might be causing this condition.
