I have received my blood report. The Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) is 15.1 percent, which is slightly high by 1.1 percent according to the report, and lymphocytes are also slightly elevated at 40.4 percent. My platelet count is 154,000/mm. Could you please suggest if these results indicate any underlying issue?

Slightly high RDW and lymphocytes may suggest past infection or mild inflammation. Platelets are within normal range. No major concern.

Dear Doctor, I have attached my cousin blood report. Kindly review it and guide me on what to do next. Is there anything serious in the report that we should be concerned about?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
