Recent Blood Work
I was wondering if anyone could help....for the past year I have rapidly been gaining weight. I've gained a total of 85 pounds. Ive cut my calories back to the lowest amount possible for me which is 1400 a day and walking 2-3 miles every other day. And not losing a single pound I consistently gain12-15 pounds monthly. Just this past March I was diagnosed with SVT and now on medication for it. I do not have a doctor, and my cardiologist doesn't want to see me again until I have a cardiac ablation. I've mentioned to my cardiologist my severe weight gain, joint pain and swelling in my legs and ankles and he advised me to see another doctor this issue had nothing to do with my heart. So I've recently gotten my blood work back but do not understand any of it...some I am just sitting on the normal line. I've had my thyroid tested twice now and both times my levels were 0.99 and 0.98 I will list my blood work as follows...please help if you know what anything means or what j should do...I'm at a dead end nobody seems to help get to the bottom of my problem.
LKC - 6.4 (normal value - 3.5 - 11.0)
ERC - 5.02 ( normal value - 3.70 - 5.00) slightly elevated
Hgb - 131 ( normal - 115-160)
HCT - 0.402 ( normal - 0.330 - 0.480)
MCV - 80.1 ( normal 80.0 - 100.0) barely passing the normal range
MCH - 26.1 ( normal 26.0 - 34.0) barely passing normal range
MCHC - 326 ( normal 320 - 360)
EDW - 42.4 ( normal 36.1 - 53.3)
PLT - 245 ( normal 150 - 450)
MPV - 8.8 ( normal 7.5 - 11.0)
Neuts - 5.20 ( normal 2.00 - 7.00)
Lymphs - 0.90 ( normal 1.00 - 4.00) slightly lower then normal
Monos - 0.30 ( normal 0.20 - 1.00)
Chloride (blood) 107 ( normal 98-107) almost out of normal range
ALT aminotransferase (blood) - 11 ( normal 10 - 35) just made it into normal range
I hope someone out there knows what any of this means...does any of my blood results mean anything possibly? For my rapid weight gain...painful swollen joints, constantly tired all the time needing naps, migraines. Hope to hear from someone. Thank You!

I have thyroid disease and I'm not understanding your results. What is .99 and .98? Usually thyroid blood work is broken up into t3 and t4 and the counts that have to maintain between certain levels. Maybe you should see an endocrinologist. Or internist.
