What units was the Hb test in? g/l or mg/l? As makes a difference as to whether your reading is low or high!

Most likely is you've got a bit anaemic. If your CRP is also raised then with active disease this is common and fixable. Try not to worry.

Hope you get a GP appointment quickly to put your mind at rest.

I can’t answer your question but your not alone in not understanding blood tests! Hoping everything is ok for you and a lot of times they won’t explain much over the phone. Hoping you get into see your doc fast to relieve the anxiety of not knowing 🤗
