I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with low platelet levels for about a year now, and I've noticed that every morning I wake up with a cough that brings up dark blood. On top of that, I've been having chronic cough and cold issues. What steps should I take to address these problems?

View allI'm really concerned about my recent blood test results. My haemoglobin level is at 22, and I've been told my uric acid is high. Plus, my cholesterol is considered abnormal, and my SGPT is also elevated. What could this all mean? Should I be worried about any specific health issues, and what steps should I take next?
A hemoglobin level of 22 is quite elevated and could indicate conditions such as polycythemia. Elevated uric acid levels suggest a risk for gout or kidney stones. Abnormal cholesterol levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. It's crucial to address these findings with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation. Immediate steps could include lifestyle changes like diet modifications and increased hydration, as well as medications to manage uric acid and cholesterol levels. Further investigations might be necessary to understand the cause of elevated hemoglobin. Please consult your doctor to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
