IGG IGM and IGA normal values

Dear Doctor,
I performed an immunoglobulin test 2 days ago. my reading were as follows and in brackets i have given the reference values provided by the lab. the igg and the igm values are on the higher end of the reference range. is this normal? or is the value supposed to be anywhere in this reference range for it to be considered normal?

igg-1230 (723-1685)
igm-211 (63-277)
iga-64.5 (69-382)

thank you

The point of those ranges is that you want your results to fall within those ranges to be considered normal. Your results were neither too high nor too low and within the normal range. You're worrying for nothing. Move on and stop worrying.
