My recent CBC blood test report shows PDW of 17.1, WBC of 11.4 (normal range is 4 to 9), and HCT of 41.8 (normal range is 34 to 38). Could you please advise me on what these results indicate and provide your valuable suggestion?

Slightly elevated PDW and WBC may indicate inflammation or infection. HCT is mildly high. Repeat CBC and consult if symptoms persist.

I have no allergic symptoms but slight pain in neck and back muscles while doing computer work. Appetite, motion, and sleep are all normal. I did this blood test myself as I do it every year for a health checkup. I have had COVID twice, in May (moderate) and January (mild). No hospitalization or steroids were used. Please guide me based on the blood report?

I was tested positive for Covid 19 on 17 April and now I am recovering from Covid. I am facing some problems related to post Covid recovery such as mild pain in chest, high pulse rate, irritation and itching in eyes, too much sleep, too much hunger, tiredness and weakness. As per my attached test report I have higher level of LDH, SGOT, eosinophils and low platelet count. What does this mean?
