HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. The white blood cells are responsible for fighting infection, they are not responsible for carrying oxygen.
A full blood count would be able to show if you are anemic- decreased red cell mass
If she is having vomiting in response to bananas it may be due to intolerance to this food and not necessarily related to her heart.
I hope this helps
