Logged on the patient portal at my local hospital to check out my blood lab results, needless to say, some are higher than in April, some are lower. Some are Low in general, and I'm like omg they're 5% higher, does that mean something is wrong with my heart?

Trying to calm myself down by repeating my positive mantras!

Hi

If there was something found with your blood results your doctor would of contacted you if you have not heard anything you can assume the results are fine. It is quite common to have results slightly higher or lower than the normal levels.

If you are really worried phone your doctor and ask them to go over your results with you.

It was in the Emergency room when I had them done,
The doctor said it all came back fine.
They're all within range, I'm just over reacting...

Agreed! :)

Try to leave the concern to your doctor/medical professionals...you are paying them for this!

Having some numbers out of range is not a sign that there is something wrong...it may just be how YOU as an individual run. Not everyone fits into the average.

It is a certain combination of numbers at certain levels that are indicative of issues that need addressing...

...and like Hibee said, your doctor would have called you in to discuss this if there was anything to worry about.
