OK, I won't go into details. Let's just say that I got to have some blood tests at the ER, and those three things came back low on one of them. I've looked online, and am not entirely clear on what sorts of things are most likely to cause those readings, and how they would relate to dizziness (more a feeling like heavy vibration through my whole body, kinda like when you give platelets?), too high oxygen saturation, and an abnormal EKG? Anyone got any pearls of wisdom to strew before me?
Other results that I see near the end of reference ranges are:
HGB: 12.1 RR: 12.0 - 16
MCH: 32 RR: 27 - 32
NA: 138 RR: 137 - 147
TotProt: 6.1 RR: 6.1 - 8.2
CA: 8.5 RR: 8.3 - 10.3
BILI.TOT: 0.3 RR: 0.1 - 1.2
ALK PHOS: 40 RR: 38 - 126Everything else seems to be solidly towards the middle of the references ranges.
Thanks!
So, any ideas what I might want to think about looking for? I'll call -- GRRR! This is the problem: I want a new doctor, after my last visit to mine. So, I will see about a doctor's appointment tomorrow, although I hate to switch while there's a problem going on, you know?
Regardless, I will do something about asking a doctor tomorrow. For today, I just want an idea of what I might want to be thinking about?
