Not everyone falls: within the normal range.Look up "standard deviation" for a more detailed understanding of how medicine comes up with "normal range".If you have no chronic inflammatory disease,like non healing wound or advanced chronic bronchitis,etc,U are ok and this is normal for you.Is your sed rate and S-CRP normal?

Tough question: Probably not any problem because you have not noticed any symptom or sign or disease. Therefore it can probably be ignored. But you may want to get two hematology consults to know for sure that there is underlying reason. Good luck. In NYC it is very popular to get two independent opinions.
