Hi,

Feeling dizzy, light headed and headache is related to increased blood pressure you are experiencing. I suggest to consult with your cardiologist and to run cardiac tests to get properly treated.

High white blood cell count are indicative for a possible infection in your body. I'd suggest to consult with your physician to find out the source of the infection and get it treated properly.

A slight elevation in anion gap and chloride you are reporting could be related to damages of the kidney (most probably due to infection). Therefore, I suggest to get properly treated if any kidney/urinary tract infection/problem is concluded.

You are also reporting to have high red cell distribution, which means that your red blood cells have a great size variations. Studies have concluded that the higher the red cells distribution, the higher the risks for cardiovascular events and atherosclerotic plaques.

You can discuss this further with your cardiologist to get the ways of improving your lab results.

All the best!
