Hi, my blood report says predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes. What does it mean and what could be the cause? What is its effect and how can it be rectified?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My father has been a chain smoker for many years. Recently, I have noticed that he has become very lethargic, has lost interest in daily activities, and is also showing signs of forgetfulness. Although he has reduced his smoking, he has not quit completely. I am concerned whether these symptoms could be a result of long-term smoking. Kindly advise.
