A mean cell volume (MCV) of 96 is on the upper edge of the normal range, which could suggest macrocytic anemia if paired with your low hematocrit and RBC. Are you by any chance consuming alcohol regularly?

Phyllis
Considering your blood results and now adding sinus tachycardia and high blood pressure into the mix – you might have a case of macrocytic anemia. This is usually due to a vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, possibly exacerbated by lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol consumption, or stress. You need to address that high blood pressure too before you blow a gasket. I'd suggest you see a doctor for a comprehensive evaluation, as we wouldn't want to miss anything else going on. In the meantime, focus on a balanced diet and discuss lifestyle changes with your healthcare provider.
