Hi, I am attaching my blood report. The MCV and MCHV seem to be out of the normal range. Could you please let me know if this is a cause for concern and if any further action is needed? Thank you.

MCV and MCHC imbalance may indicate early anaemia or iron or B12 deficiency. If mildly off, diet correction may help, otherwise, supplements are advised.

I recently received my Vitamin B12 test report, and the result is 113 pg per mL, which is quite low. I had this test done because I have been feeling low on energy for a long time.

What is the difference between haemogram and CBC?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Vitamin B12 is 163, which is below the normal range. I am experiencing tingling, numbness, weakness, shortness of breath, fatigue, tiredness, and body pain. I have taken Vitcofol 6, 2 ml injections over the last 10 days. My questions are: Which tests can I do to check iron levels, as I suspect low iron may be causing low hemoglobin? How can I alleviate these symptoms, and how many more B12 injections might I need, considering I am on PPI for GERD, which caused these issues? I may need to continue PPI for a few more months as GERD is almost resolved. I would also like tips to increase my hemoglobin and RBC levels.
