I'm trying to understand my blood test results and I'm a bit confused about some of the terms. It mentions that my RBC is normocytic normochromic with mild anisopoikilocytosis and that my WBC has a lymphocytic predominance with mild eosinophilia. The report also says that my platelets are adequate on the smear. Could you help explain what this all means? I'm feeling a bit worried about these findings.

I've got some concerns about my blood work results. My hemoglobin is at 15.9, red blood cells are at 4.6 million, white blood cells are 11,100, and the platelets are listed as 2.13 million. Can you help me understand if these numbers are within normal ranges or if there's something I should be worried about? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice.
