I've just received my blood test results, and a few things seem off to me. My mean platelet volume is 12.9, platelet distribution width is 17.2, and my platelet to large cell ratio is 46. Also, my total RBC count is 5.81, the monocytes absolute count is 0.17, and basophils absolute count is 0.01. Plus, my Vitamin D3 level is 8.3, and HDL cholesterol is 31. I'm quite thin and trying to gain some weight, but I keep experiencing numbness in my legs and hands. Which specialist should I see about these issues, and are they treatable? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

Elevated PDW indicates variability in platelets similar to an elevated MPV.Elevated PLCR could be linked to increased platelet production or bone marrow disorders. It can also be associated with inflammatory conditions.A low vitamin D level like this can lead to weakness, and fatigue. It can also affect immune system functioning. Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to numbness in your hands and legs and may also be related to muscle weakness.Low HDL cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

I recently had a routine CBC done and noticed my monocyte count is a bit high. The normal range is supposed to be 3.0 to 7.0, but mine came back at 7.9. Should I be worried about this? I did the test in the evening after fasting for 14 hours. Could that have affected the results?
