I'm having some trouble breathing, mostly when I'm walking or at night. It feels like there's something blocking my nose, and sometimes I get a mild chest pain. I saw in my blood test that my hemoglobin is at 10.3gm. I'm just wondering, could these symptoms be because of my low blood count or is there something else going on?

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 looking at my CBC report and I'm not sure what to make of it. The PCV value is 35, which I understand might be low? Also, the neutrophil count is at 74, TC is 9000, and lymphocytes are at 21. Could you help clarify these numbers for me? I'm a bit concerned about the low PCV.

Low PCV (35%) suggests mild anemia, which could be caused by nutritional deficiencies or other health issues. High neutrophil count (74%) points to an active infection or inflammation in your body, most likely bacterial. Your total WBC count is normal, and your lymphocyte count is not alarmingly low.
