Hello doctor! I have got a cbc done yesterday. I am having low haemoglobin, mcv and mch. Haemoglobin is 11.70, mcv - 71.30,mch - 22. 50. Rbc count is 5.18 and rdw is 16.90. Lymphocytes are 40.50. Last year also the levels were almost same. Should I start any medication? What does it mean? I have frequent headaches and feel fatigued and weak in head sometimes.

Your hemoglobin is not very low but it's lower than it should be in a healthy female. For that you can have iron folic acid tablets once daily for the next 30 days .also you should have food rich in iron and eat citrus foods also. And apart from this you should consider consulting a gynaecologist if you gave heavy bleeding during menstruations. For further guidance you can consult me online.
