My cousin recently had a CBC blood test, and the report shows Normocytic Normochromic RBC with mild erythrocytosis. Should this be a cause for concern? What can be done to manage or treat this condition? He has experienced some weight loss. He previously underwent surgery for thyroid cancer, and his latest scan is clear. He also received RAI therapy with a 100 mCi dose, and he has been doing fine since then. Is this blood report something to worry about?

Normocytic normochromic RBCs are generally normal. Mild erythrocytosis could result from smoking, dehydration, or hypoxia. Since your cousin had thyroid cancer, regular monitoring is advised. Consult your doctor for tailored evaluation.

I have had constant chest pain since being diagnosed with myocarditis in May 2016. My report mentions mild heart scarring and possible pericardial thickening. I would like to know if this chest pain is something I will always experience from now on?

Dear Sir or Mam, seven months ago I started having tightening and pain on the left side of my body, including my chest. I have taken a PFT, and my report shows early small airway obstruction. I have visited many doctors, but they have neglected it. I am still suffering from this.
