Is this blood report normal? I'm a 27-year-old male, and I've had a history of severe vitamin B12 and D deficiency that went untreated for a few years, though I completed the treatment. I still struggle with IBS, and I'm worried because my recent blood test showed some values out of range. My lymphocytes are at 43, RBC count is 4.5, hematocrit is 40.9, MCH is 33.7 pg, MCHC is 37.1, RDWCV is 14.8, platelets count is 169, sodium is 149, potassium is 5.1, and chloride is 107. Should I be concerned about these results, or are they something I should keep an eye on?

I'm really worried and could use some guidance. So, I had Jaundice last month, and during treatment, my doctor discovered I have Beta Thalassemia Minor. My hemoglobin count is typically between 7 and 9. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about? Also, I'm really into bodybuilding, so is it still okay for me to hit the gym? I heard that taking Folic Acid might help, but will using it long-term have any side effects? I'd appreciate your advice since this is all quite stressing me out.

Beta Thalassemia Minor can be managed with the right approach to diet, exercise, and medication. Your doctor will be your best guide in adjusting your treatment and managing your health.

I've been having some pretty bad allergy symptoms lately, and while they seemed to calm down after a few days, I'm worried because my blood work showed high levels of mpv at 13.2, pdw at 19, and plcr at 51. Plus, these red boils are popping up all over my body and then disappearing. It's really unsettling. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
