Hi Not entirely sure which part of your blood results came back at 15? It may be an idea to get a copy of your blood results from your GP practice if you are not sure which thing it was - with a bit more info we might be better able to help you understand them.

I am trying to get a copy of my latest blood result from the practice but not that easy.The bloods were taken in June 2016 so a bit out of date.Thank you for your interest.I will get back to you when I have the results.Ann

Just a ps I think the 5 I was given is the red blood cell count.Which probably is quite good ?

[taka Administrator in reply to Mrsannabbott]

It depends on the range for your area to be honest!

The range for my area for red cell counts is 3.8 - 5.8 x10^12 so if your result is 5 x 10^12 cells with a similar range then this is probably normal. It is hard to tell without more info though as each area can have a different ranges and units...
