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

A mildly elevated RBC count or Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) is usually not a cause for concern. It may happen due to hydration levels, high altitude, or mild iron changes. If Hemoglobin, Serum Ferritin, and Serum Iron are normal, theres usually nothing to worry about. Anxiety can also affect your well being and perception. You can repeat the tests in 2 to 4 weeks for confirmation.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Iron Studies Test Test

View allI am suffering from a very minor fever-like tendency for about a week. It goes away with PCM and sometimes without taking it. The temperature is very minor and gives a normal reading, but I feel very inactive because of it. I did my routine health check up 2 weeks ago and the blood report was quite normal. I do not know what has caused this problem?
