I'm looking over my CBC blood test results and I'm a bit worried. My PDW is at 17.1, and I've noticed my WBC count is 11.4, while the normal range they provided is between 4 to 9. Also, my HCT level is 41.8 but the normal ratio is 34 to 38. Could you help me understand what these numbers might mean? I'm not sure if these are something to be concerned about. Would appreciate any advice or suggestion you could give!

I'm seeing terms like "blast," "abn lympo," and "NRBC" in my CBC report, and I'm a bit worried about what they mean. I'm also experiencing body pain but no fever. What do these results indicate? I've attached my blood test report for reference. Can you help me understand if there's anything serious going on?
