Hi,
Your report is normal except presence of occult blood.
This indicates that there might be some bleeding from your Gastro-intestinal tract and it should be find out.
This may be due to some medicine like Aspirin taken for thinning of blood.
Your symptoms and report should be co-related.
ok and take care.
