Low MCV and MCH, High RDW and normal HB
Hello dr
I am 26 yrs male, pure vegeterian diet, no addiction.
I am experiencing symptoms like dizziness/lightheadedness, swelling of peripheries, pale skin, heart palpitations etc.
I am having low MCV and MCH count, high RBC count and high RDW count.
Are these symptoms related to anemia?
Does low MCV and MCH count but normal HB indicates to iron deficiency anaemia?
