I'm a bit worried about my recent blood test results. My MPV came back as 11.8 H. What's the average MPV for a person? Is having an 11.8 H dangerous, and should I be concerned that it might be a sign of something serious, like cancer? I've attached my report for you to take a look.

I'm a little concerned about my haemoglobin levels. They're at 18.5, and they've been above 18 for over a year now. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it within a normal range? Would really appreciate some advice on this.
A hemoglobin level of 18.5 is higher than the normal range (13.5-17.5 gdL for adult males and 12-16 gdL for adult females), suggesting polycythemia, a condition that may be primary (bone marrow disorder) or secondary (response to chronic hypoxia, testosterone abuse, or other medical conditions); consult a hematologist to rule out underlying causes and discuss potential treatment options, such as phlebotomy or medication.
