So, my report for the health screening came in last week.
BMI >> Normal
Blood Pressure >> 126 / 93 mmHg aka GRADE 1 HYPERTENSION
Total Cholesterol Level >> BORDERLINE HIGH
Full Blood Count >> The blood film shows a suggestion of thalassemia trait and/or iron deficiency. Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder characterised by red blood cells with a shortened lifespan, and may result in the person having the trait (carrier) to have lowered red blood cell count (anaemia).
There is mild microcrytic hypochromic anaemia, which may be due to iron dificiency. Mild anaemia may be asymptomatic or could be present as occasional dizziness, fatigue and pallor. You are advised to increase intake of iron through food sources like dark green leafy vegetables and meat.
I'm telling you, I eat a lot of steak! And meat! For iron! But now I have to cut back because of my cholesterol level?! :( :( What kind of f*kery is this?
