I'm kinda worried about my blood report since it says there's an alert for predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes anisocytosis. Can you explain what this means? I've attached a screenshot if that helps.

The blood report indicates that you have a mixed anemia, characterized by normocytic (normal-sized) and normochromic (normal-colored) red blood cells, along with the presence of macrocytes (larger-than-normal cells), ovalocytes (oval-shaped cells), and anisocytosis (unequal-sized cells), suggesting a possible deficiency in vitamin B12 or folate,

I'm looking at my platelet count and it's at 120, but the normal range is supposed to be above 150 according to the report I got. Should I be worried about this? Does platelet count change daily, or is it pretty stable? If there's anything I can take over-the-counter to help, what would you recommend? I've attached my report, in case that helps.

A platelet count of 120 is mildly low (mild thrombocytopenia), but not typically serious unless accompanied by other symptoms like bleeding, bruising, or petechiae; platelet counts can fluctuate, but significant changes are unlikely on a daily basis
