Hello doctor,
I went to the doctor for a physical on 8th. I had blood work done. I went to the ER recently because I was feeling dizzy and tingling. The doctor said I have vertigo and they were not sure of the tingling. I received my blood work from my ER visit and I compared it to my annual exam. Below are the results:
Between 8th and now:
RBC 5.13 5.35
HGB 16.1 16.7
HCT 48.5 48.5
MCH 31.5 31.2
NA 131 141
CL 105 97
Protein 8.3 8.9
SGOT 41 23
All other numbers were normal. Do I need to be concerned with these numbers? After my 8th appt, the doctor did prescribe 20 mg of Lipitor (generic), but I stopped taking it after two weeks. I have also had diarrhea. I currently take Synthroid 0.05 mg. My blood pressure was high at my 8th appointment. It had never been high before.
