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?

Just got my blood test results back and noticed my PDW is 19, but the report says it should be between 9.6 and 15.2. What does this mean for me? I'm not sure what steps I should take next, and it's making me a bit anxious. Can you help me understand what I can do about it?
An elevated PDW (Platelet Distribution Width) may indicate platelet abnormalities or certain medical conditions. In this case, it is important to further investigate the underlying cause. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as Aspirin or Clopidogrel to help regulate platelet function. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by your healthcare provider based on the specific diagnosis.
