What Does The CBC And COMP Meta Panel Regarding Headache Indicate?

I had a CBC and COMP Meta Panel done last week. Being the holiday I went directly to the lab on Friday and got my results. My WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, hematority, MCV, and MCH are all low. In fact my Hemoglobin is 9.7 with a range of 12-16 I have had a headache that I cannot get rid of and wondering if I should go to urgent care or wait and follow up with dr on Monday.

Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Hemoglobin 9.7 does not require emergency treatment Hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, and MCH are all low that means loss or deficiency of iron or some hemoglobinopathy.you can wait till monday and get further examined and tested to find the cause of Anaemia.For headache you can take an analgesic if no other problem and not contraindicated.
hope this helps
