Anyone willing to translate the results of a blood test?

Evening!

I had a blood test earlier this week and I've been asked to go back for more tests as three of the measures were outside normal range:

Mean cell volume (low)
Mean cell haemoglobin concentration (high)
Eosinophil count (high)

The surgery can't get me in for the next set of tests for a while and I've been feeling pretty ropey so wondered if there was anything I could do in the meantime to try and keep me going - as best as I can work out, it's some form of anaemia.

Obviously not taking things as gospel, but I welcome thoughts.

I'm afraid "low" or "high" etc doesn't mean anything. A value could be be just outside the normal range to be considered high or whatever but not be extreme enough to indicate a problem if you see what I mean.

Do you have the report with any actual values with units?

Eat some spinach.
I used to do this before my blood tests and usually they turned out right

sounds a bit like aids to me ...bad aids

As above, depends on actual figures. Eosinophils up may be associated with allergy (e.g. asthma) and other immune responses. A low MCV is often a sign of iron deficiency - although this typically accompanies low cell haemoglobin. A high MCH is often not significant. I suspect they want to see you to check for iron issues - from diet and poor absorption to blood loss. But other explanations too and PH not the best place to ask
