NRBC: And the "indices" suggest a need for a heme consult. You didn't mention wbc, platelets or hematocrit/hemoglobin. Nrbc's are immature red cells, but it infers the bone marrow may be crowded out. Headaches doesn't help. The scenario can be serious. Leukemia and metastasis on the list, but you need moer information and I do too.

Need more info: What were your hemoglobin and hematocrit? It seems as if your body is trying to make the red blood cells however something may be making their lifespan shorter. My guess is your reticulocyte count is high and your hemoglobin is low.
