Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your MCH is slightly low. Your MCHC is also low. But your RBC count is normal. In such cases, we rely on MCV and hemoglobin to decide the next steps.
If your hemoglobin is normal then no need to worry about this findings.
If your hemoglobin is low then further steps are needed.
