How Bentlee Suarez treated high mcv?
Note - This article is written by one of our patients about their experiences with high mcv.
My name is Bentlee Suarez, and when I was diagnosed with a high Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) score of 105.2, my life took an unexpected turn. I had no idea that this discovery would send me on a path of fortitude, comprehension, and my family's everlasting support.
It all started when I started having strange symptoms. Even the most basic daily duties were difficult due to the continual presence of overwhelming exhaustion and weakness. I also had to deal with periodic episodes of shortness of breath and sporadic vertigo. I decided to see my doctor since I was worried about my health.
My physician performed a number of blood tests, including an assessment of MCV, at my initial examination. The outcomes showed a raised MCV value, which might point to a problem with my red blood cells. A high MCV value, according to my doctor, may indicate a number of illnesses, including vitamin deficiency, liver disease, or particular kinds of anaemia. To determine the precise cause, additional testing were required.

My diagnosis was followed by a period of uncertainty and worry. I was often worried about what this high MCV value would mean for my general health. I was, however, prepared to face the difficulty head-on and take whatever measures were required to reclaim my wellbeing.
My doctor confirmed that my increased MCV value was caused by a vitamin B12 and folate deficit after receiving the test results. These necessary nutrients are crucial for maintaining cellular health and producing red blood cells. My physician gave me a detailed treatment schedule that included dietary modifications, targeted supplementation, and routine testing of my MCV levels.
I set out on a quest to restore my health, beginning with nutritional adjustments. Fish, poultry, dairy products, and fortified cereals were among the items I learned to be high in vitamin B12 after doing a lot of study. I increased my intake of folate by eating more leafy green vegetables, lentils, and whole grains every day. I made an effort to eat a balanced, nourishing diet that included a variety of nutrient-dense foods.
My doctor recommended vitamin B12 and folate tablets in addition to dietary changes to adequately address my deficits. I vowed to stick to a strict routine since I knew that repetition was the key to bringing my MCV levels back into equilibrium.
I was devoted to getting better, but I couldn't deny how much of a toll these symptoms were having on my life. Even the simplest activities became difficult to complete because of exhaustion and weakness. My general health was negatively impacted by my shortness of breath and dizziness. I realised I had to figure out how to regulate these symptoms and take back control of my life.
I made the decision to make lifestyle adjustments that would lessen the severity of these symptoms. My daily routine became really necessary after I started exercising regularly. I started with low-impact exercises like walking despite my initial exhaustion and progressively increased the intensity over time. Exercise not only increased my energy levels but also had a great impact on my mood and general wellbeing.
I simultaneously incorporated stress-reduction strategies into my regular routine. Deep breathing techniques, meditation, and taking part in enjoyable and relaxing activities became crucial tools for me. I was able to lower my stress levels thanks to these techniques and deal with the difficulties my symptoms presented more effectively.
The help I received from my family was crucial to my advancement during this journey. They offered unfailing support, love, and compassion. We worked together to arrange meals so that our family's diet matched my nutritional requirements. They also accompanied me when I exercised regularly, which strengthened our relationship and gave me more drive to stick with my fitness objectives.
Additionally, my family provided a supportive environment at home because they recognised the restrictions and challenges I had as a result of my ailments. In times of frustration or exhaustion, they offered emotional support as well as help with home chores. I had the stamina to keep going because of their unwavering support and confidence in my capability to get through this health issue.
As time went on, I faithfully followed my treatment regimen and saw my doctor for routine checkups. Slowly but surely, the outcomes of my efforts started to be good. My MCV number gradually began to drop, which showed that my red blood cells were restoring their balance and health.
I could clearly see a decrease in my symptoms, and my daily life felt normal again. I felt less worn out and had more vigour and enthusiasm. I was able to do things that I had previously found difficult since the episodes of shortness of breath and dizziness decreased in frequency.
I continue to put my health first now by eating a balanced diet, taking the right vitamins, and exercising regularly. I continue to keep a close eye on my MCV levels and often check in with my doctor to make sure I'm making progress.
Resilience, tenacity, and my family's unwavering support were required to make the transition from a high MCV value to a healthier range. Their support and love were crucial in helping me get over the difficulties I encountered. I am appreciative of the wisdom and fortitude I have acquired as a result of this life-changing experience. I look forward to a better future of health and happiness alongside my loved ones.
