Question 1

I have noticed some solid lumps below my tongue. I went for blood tests for CBP and ESR, and the results are:
Hemoglobin: 17.8
RBC count: 5.73
Hematocrit: 49.2
MCV: 86.0
MCH: 31.1
MCHC: 36.2
RDW: 11.3
Platelets: 2.91
TLC: 6500
ESR: 6.0
My hemoglobin, RBC, MCHC, and RDW are above the expected range. Could this cause any problems? Please suggest what I should do.

Question 2

I have taken a blood test. I have elevated RBC and iron binding capacity. Is this normal? This is causing anxiety to me.

Question 3

My father is 80 years old and has been suffering from fever for the past 10 days. He was on antibiotics for 5 days and admitted to the hospital after an X ray showed pneumonia and his blood report showed a high WBC count (16,400). After one day of treatment in the hospital, the fever subsided, but the doctor advised to continue treatment for 5 to 6 days before discharge. Now, he has swelling in his hands and legs, and he is also having bathroom related issues. What could be the reason for this swelling, and is it serious?

Hi, I have attached my blood report, which shows mild lymphocytosis and high cholesterol. Could you please review the report and suggest which foods I should avoid and which healthy foods I should include in my diet?

Mild lymphocytosis can occur post infection. Avoid fried/processed food, red meat. Include greens, whole grains, and omega 3 rich foods.
