Overall healthy. No meds.
10 days ago I had the flu (fever, headaches, runny nose, cough) that lasted 6 days. Today, day 10 after the first symptoms, I had routine bloodwork done and RBC came back low (3740000), hemoglobin borderline low at 12. Normal WBC and platalets. Could the virus have affected RBC?

My morning serum cortisol has been around 30/40 (reference range 4.80/19.50) every time I got it tested since 2019. I suffer from severe anxiety. I don't have any Cushing's symptoms and Dr said it's my normal. Just anxiety symptoms, (intrusive thoughts, etc. But not physical symptoms)
Any thoughts on this?

Are you this kind of hypochondriac who postpone tests, i.e. having bloodwork done, because you are fraught with fear of getting the results, or the other kind that can't wait having tests done because you feel that once you have the results you will feel better?
I have to repeat bloodwork in a month but I trully don't know how I am going to survive this month waiting for that.
I mean macrocytosis
That's it. 37 years and I can't remember happy moments in my life. I suffer from health anxiety. Always thinking about the worst. I am not happy. I have always fear of dying and I am slowly dying of sadness, fear and anxiety.
Anyone can relate?

I have bronchiectasis which pneumo stated as COPD. I don't smoke and I breath with no problems. But I get pleghm frequently.
I always had high MCV around 100 and last one is 102.8
I ate plenty of B12 and folate food. Can macrocytosis be a cause of COPD?
I am seeing my dr next month. Serum B12 is 650 but my MCV is high at 103 (ferritin low, other RBC within normal ranges). I suspect functional B12 deficiency but my only symptoms are those two as I am aware of. I don't feel fatigued.
Could it be? TIA

I keep reading B12 serum test is not accurate but 650 is high, isn't it? Folate is 22.
Still with those numbers my MCV is high (normal hemoglobin). Help me, please

I have bronchiectasis. No meds
I know that low iron causes microcytosis but my MCV is always high (currently 102.3) and B12 and folate levels within normal ranges (690 and 19).
Ferritin is low at 21.
How could this be? I don't smoke, drink ocassionally.
RBC is 3740000
Hg 12.7
Hematocrit 40%
WBC 6400
Platalets 350000
Is there any explanation to this? Thank you

But normal hemoglobin and normal B12 and folate... anyone?
I was wondering if anyone here has high MCV in their bloodwork.
38F Overall healthy. My routine bloodwork has always shown high MCV, at least for the last 10 years (around 100) and lately its been 102.
All other counts within normal ranges.
I feel fine. No smoker, not an alcoholic and B12 and folate within normal ranges.
Has anyone had as a first and only indicator of MDS high MCV?
