Hey,

I am really worried about my bloods.

Consistently now for 2 years I have had a slightly low MCV count and MCH. The doctor put me on iron tablets but asked me to stop after a few months. Here are my results now, my MCV and MCH are still low.

Haemoglobin 125
RBC 4.8
MCV 79.3 Reference range (80-100)
MCH 25.8 Reference range (27-32)
Serum Iron 24.0
UIBC 38.3
Ferritin 66

Does this sound concerning? My haemoglobin and Ferritin have dropped by about 10 points each since stopping iron tablets couple of week ago.

I am really scared I have some internal bleeding going on or something sinister.
