My anxiety has been sky high the last month or so and iv started going to the doctors a lot again, they recommended that I go back on citalopram which I havnt because of the nasty side effects. Anyway I persuaded the doctor to give me blood tests and today I got a few resukts back and im totally freaked out.

My red blood cell count is slightly elavated which the gp commented satisfactory on the test sheet, the top end of the range is 5.55 and my result was 5.88, Im still waiting on my liver function test which always comes back just over the top end which always freaks me out because I dont drink or smoke. Im so worried that its going to come back even higher this time with my red blood cell count being high.

Causes for high red blood cell count have worried me sick and im not dehydrated I drink loads of water everyday.

Wish I hadnt asked for a printout of my results and accepted when the recepionist said they were normal and satisfactory :weep:
