Is this blood report normal? I'm a 27-year-old male, and I've had a history of severe vitamin B12 and D deficiency that went untreated for a few years, though I completed the treatment. I still struggle with IBS, and I'm worried because my recent blood test showed some values out of range. My lymphocytes are at 43, RBC count is 4.5, hematocrit is 40.9, MCH is 33.7 pg, MCHC is 37.1, RDWCV is 14.8, platelets count is 169, sodium is 149, potassium is 5.1, and chloride is 107. Should I be concerned about these results, or are they something I should keep an eye on?

-The blood report shows some values slightly out of the normal range, particularly with lymphocyte count, MCH, MCHC, and electrolyte levels (sodium, chloride). These may be linked to your past vitamin deficiencies and ongoing IBS. It's advisable to discus

My arm's been hurting since I got blood drawn three times for some tests on January 25th. There's a bit of redness on my skin too. It seemed to be getting better, but I played squash today, and now the pain's back. Can you suggest what I should do?

It seems like your arm might be experiencing irritation or inflammation from the multiple blood draws. I recommend applying a cold compress to reduce swelling and taking over-the-counter pain relief, such as ibuprofen, to alleviate discomfort. If the redness or pain worsens, or if you notice swelling, it would be best to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a 22-year-old female and recently got my blood work done. My lymphocyte count is 45.7, MCH is 32.1pg, and my absolute basophils are at 6.5cmm. I haven't had any illnesses or infections in the past, but these numbers seem a bit off. Should I be concerned or do anything specific about these abnormal blood counts?

While your lymphocyte and basophil counts are slightly elevated, this may not necessarily indicate a serious issue, especially without symptoms. The best course of action is to consult your healthcare provider to discuss your lab results and get a clearer understanding of what might be happening. Your doctor may want to track these values over time or perform additional tests to rule out any underlying conditions.

I've been really concerned because for the past year, my platelet count has been stuck between 70 and 100, and my MPV is over 14. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my body and how I can get my platelet levels back to normal. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

take plenty of fluids and fruits like papaya and kiwi along with tab caripill once a day for 5days
