Q: 5.62 red blood count female? been that high for years never goes up ??

: Total red cell count off 5.62 is slightly high so likely your red cell indices (MCV, MCH) are low with normal Hb/Hct. If those are correct, you have a condition called trait thalassemia (hereditary) which is not uncommon, nothing to concern. Take care.
