High Rdw itself is not dangerous, it depends on underlying cause. Please share detailed medical history, test results, then I can guide you further.

It's looks like microcytic hypochromic anemia
Most common cause is iron deficiency.
Do check your Serum iron, Serum ferritin, TIBC

A low MCV and MCH together with a high RDW is the classic pattern of iron deficiency anaemia, where red cells are smaller and more uneven in size than usual. Your haemoglobin at 8.2 confirms this is a real anaemia, not just a lab quirk.
Next Steps
This needs proper treatment, usually iron replacement guided by a doctor, and a check for what's causing the iron loss, commonly heavy periods in women your age. Please book a general physician or gynaecologist visit this week.
Health Tips
Seek care sooner if you feel breathless, your heart races, or you feel like fainting.
