Hello doctor, I am a 42-year old male weighing 92kg. I work from home but physically active. I walk 45 minutes a day five times a week and play table tennis for one hour three times a week. I did a complete body test last week and RBC count came as 5.8H, MCV 80.7L and MCH 26.8L and HDL 35L. Should I visit a cardiologist or any specific doctor?

Ans: These readings are slightly deranged but not very worrying. HLD is slightly lower but it is important to know what are the levels of LDL and triglycerides.

Please discuss with a family physician or GP and discuss further.

Career

Helo sir, I want to do Bachelor in pharmacy...can I persue a job in medicine companies like cipla, mankind etc?

Ans: Hi,

I’m not sure where you are located, but I wanted to share my thoughts. After completing a Bachelor's degree, it's common to start with a lower salary during the initial period. It may take some time before you reach a frontline position. Therefore, I recommend pursuing a Master's degree before entering the job market. You will definitely find opportunities with reputable companies, including multinational pharma companies.

Remember, having a degree alone is not enough; you also need to acquire relevant skills.

Wishing you all the best!
