Normal blood results vary from lab to lab depending on what equipment they use. At the one I use, normal Hbg for women is 11.7-15.5, MCH is 27-33, and MCHC is 32-36. Your results are not that far off normal. There is no way to tell from a simple blood count if you have internal bleeding, but with results this good, it is highly unlikely. Anemia is the most common cause of low hemoglobin. MHC is mean corpuscular hemoglobin. It is a measure of the hemoglobin in red blood cells. Smaller numbers would indicate a microcytic anemia. MCHC is mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. Dilution (lower numbers) usually means a condition like iron deficiency anemia. However, these numbers all by themselves indicate nothing. They are taken along with all the rest of the blood count, any other tests that were done, and the clinical picture. The results shed no light on why you have pain under your rib cage.

Are high hemoglobin levels dangerous?

Sometimes high hemoglobin levels are dangerous. Usually levels of hemoglobin that are above normal indicate a problem with your health. The levels are usually high when a patient has advanced lung cancer such as emphysema, certain types of tumors, disorders of the bone marrow, and abuse of epogen by athletes for blood doping purposes. There are also times when the body produces false high's. These times are when someone lives at high altitudes, or when someone is dehydrated, but the levels return to normal when the person goes to an area of normal altitudes or when the dehydrated persons fluids are replenished.
