I have noticed some solid lumps below my tongue. I went for blood tests for CBP and ESR, and the results are: Hemoglobin: 17.8 RBC count: 5.73 Hematocrit: 49.2 MCV: 86.0 MCH: 31.1 MCHC: 36.2 RDW: 11.3 Platelets: 2.91 TLC: 6500 ESR: 6.0 My hemoglobin, RBC, MCHC, and RDW are above the expected range. Could this cause any problems? Please suggest what I should do.

Slightly raised red blood parameters often point to dehydration or smoking effect. If no symptoms, no need to worry. Oral lumps need a dental/ENT review.

It is about my sister she is 20 years old and healthy but she faints and becomes unconscious at any time for example while eating sitting standing or sleeping. Is there any psychological problem because her blood report and blood pressure are normal.

I am a thyroid patient. My reports are currently normal. I have been running 6 km in the morning for a few days and for the past few days I have been feeling dull, irritable, lacking energy, and sleepy.

My platelet distribution width PDW is 8.9 FL as per my blood report which is below the normal range. My platelet to large cell ratio PLCR is low at 14.8 percent. Is this a cause for worry and should I consult a doctor?
