Brief Answer:
Hello dear. Your reports are normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. In my opinion, all your reports are normal and you should not chase any of the report now. Only the ESR is mildly elevated whivh can be normal variation also. Your mcv is normal and not high. We take normal upto 104. You can eat any of tbe vegetables and fruits, more of green leafy veggie and roughages.
Thanks and regards
