Hi,
All the given test result of routine blood work seems to be within normal limits neither the given symptoms suggestive of any disease but it is just the nonspecific changes you must be having.
Try to change the diet, no need to be over-conscious. The history of fainting could be due to hypoglycemia else it had to be ruled out for cardiovascular and brain disease. It could have been hysteria too. If you do not have such fainting episode again then it is nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain,
