Today I went for a blood test for thyroid. When they pricked my needle, I saw watery blood on my hand. This happened for the first time. I am not on any blood thinner medicine. What could be the reason?

Watery blood could be due to hydration, vein fragility, or lab technique. Not a major concern if it happened once. No link with thyroid or medications unless recurring. Maintain good hydration before tests. If frequent, consider checking Platelet Count or CBC.

My blood report shows Anti-Chlamydial IgM Antibody of 1.28 and Anti-Chlamydia IgG of 0.16. Does this mean I have a recent infection for the first time, or could it be an old infection. I am experiencing abdominal pain, as well as pain in my leg, hand, and chest, all on the left side. My muscles also feel tight. Based on these values, how recent might the infection be. I am very scared and would really appreciate your help and guidance on what to do next.

Please check my blood report. Some values are higher. Please advise as I am very worried after seeing this report. I also tested urine routine and microscopy which are normal?
