Hi Pretty,
It would be a good idea to ask for an MRI scan. Organic conditions can cause delusions and paranoia. It's necessary to rule out organic conditions before diagnosing schizophrenia.
The blood test may have been a Full Blood Count, Urea and Electrolytes etc. They might also have done a drug screen.
