Should I be worried if my doctor wants to do more blood tests?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Sir, I am 23 years old and have been suffering from indigestion for the past one year. I do not have any fever. My blood test results are: Hemoglobin is 10.10, TLC is 19200, Polymorphs is 83, Lymphocytes is 15, Monocytes is 01. The rest, including eosinophils, basophils, RBC count, platelet count, and ESR, are within the reference range. Could you please suggest what this indicates and what I should do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have done a CBC test recently and the reports are normal, but a few platelet indices are high, specifically MPV and PCT. Please check my report. What does this mean? Is it normal or do I need further evaluation?
