My hemoglobin count is 13.8 i'm a 28 yr old f. my blood count report says i'm hypochromic? wat does that mean

Probably nothing: If the MCHC is only slightly out of range, I'd ignore it. Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthies fall outside. In the absence of anemia, abnormal indices seldom mean anything unless they are way-far off. At your age, a routine iron study may be in order.
