I'm a bit worried because my RBC count came back as 6.22, and I actually tested it twice in the last 10 months, with readings like 6.24 and 6.1. What could this mean for my health? Should I be looking into other tests, or is donating blood a good way to help bring things back to normal?
Your RBC count of 6.22 is slightly elevated, but it remains within a common range for some individuals, particularly those who are physically active or live at high altitudes. However, it's important to assess other factors, such as overall health and symptoms. Donating blood may help, but I recommend discussing this with your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.

I'm really concerned about my hemoglobin levels. In July, my HB was at 8.7, and now it's dropped to 5.8. I've already done all the blood-related tests, but they haven't shown any issues. I'm wondering if drinking red wine could help increase my hemoglobin. What do you think?
Red wine can provide some iron, but it's not a reliable or significant source to increase hemoglobin. If your hemoglobin is very low, it's important to focus on iron-rich foods, supplements, and follow up with your doctor to find the underlying cause.
