188is not very high. Up to 170 is considered normal upper limit in women. Get it checked once again after a month if you are not having any troublesome symptoms at present. Have you been given repeated blood transfusions in the recent past ? If yes, then that may be the cause. You need to consult with your reports and better history narration.
