Blood test result help

Hi

I would be ever so grateful for some knowledgeable people to comment.

My nearly 50 year old DH has just had blood tests (3 tubes) for high level anxiety, stress and also potential heart issues (his brother had a quad bypass at age 50).

The good news is that the results came back clear. Annoying he didn't ask what he was tested for and won't ring back 😬.

Can anyone shed any light on what he may have been tested for to put my mind at rest?

Huge thanks

I take blood and the most common ones ordered for heart/anxiety are

Full blood count
Cholesterol
Thyroid
Anaemia screen (B12/folate/Ferritin)
Glucose -because you’ve said 3 tubes
Plus usually routine liver function, kidney function and HBA1c
Occasionally a Dr will also request Vitamin D as this deficiency can cause anxiety.

Great. Thanks so much Yeah. I thought it might be cholesterol amongst others.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Smile
