My blood report comment says I have hypochromia but my hemoglobin is normal. What is the reason behind it, is this serious or normal?

Hi, I am experiencing numbness in the last two fingers of my right hand, mostly in the mornings when I wake up. I am not diabetic (post meal sugar: 133). Previously, I had significant drooping of my right eyelid, which was evaluated by neurologists and an ophthalmologist, and nerve tests were normal, only vitamin deficiencies were found. After taking vitamins, my eyelid improved. However, now this intermittent numbness in my fingers every alternate morning is worrying me. Could this indicate a serious condition that I need to be alert about? Please advise. Thank you in advance.
