Brief Answer:
Hello dear. It seems normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details.

So, a borderline elevated hemoglobin and MCV at present seems normal unless you have a high platelet counts as well. Moreover at your age, I cant think of a myeloproliferative disease of blood which presents with high hemoglobin and platelet counts.

You need not to be worried.

Thanks and Regards
