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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm a bit worried about my health lately. I recently had a throat infection and although I'm feeling better now, my haemoglobin is at 9.5. My other CBC tests seem normal. I had a baby via cesarean section back in September 2016. Could you help me understand why my ESR levels might be increasing?
ESR can be raised in a lot of conditions of inflammation. Need not worry about that. You can take a tab. Livogen once a day after food for a month and have a high protein diet. Consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.

Got my blood work back, and it turns out my iron levels are on the low side, measuring 41 ugdl when it should be between 60 to 150 ugdl. Should I be worried about this, and what steps can I take to improve it?
Low iron levels can lead to anemia and other health issues if left untreated. To treat this, I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets. You can take Ferrous Sulfate tablets. It is important to take it on an empty stomach for better absorption. Also, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and fortified cereals. Additionally, consuming vitamin C-rich foods or supplements can help enhance iron absorption. Regularly follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your iron levels and adjust the treatment as needed.

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?
