Unless your medical team have contacted you about these tests then I would not be too worried, as tests results can go up and down.

Are you taking iron or folate supplements? If so, then you might need to check with your GP about that, as you could be taking too much. It would probably be good to ask your GP anyway what it all means. There are some diseases where high iron levels cause problems. They would probably do a repeat test just to make sure it wasn't just an odd reading, but if it persists then you might need to be referred to a haematologist (blood specialist).

12 weeks is the usual target time to be seen by specialists, though you might find you get an appointment well before that. If things get any worse though, make sure you go back to your GP because sometimes they can hurry things up a bit.
