Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query,

I have read through your query, and I would suggest you to upload the lab reports soon, so that I can help you with it.

Normal RBC count ranges between 4.3-5.7 million cells/ mcL in males and 3.9- 5.0 million cells/ mcL in females.

Kindly upload the report from the upload link seen on the right or else you can also attach the reports on YYYY@YYYY with attention to Dr. Remy.
