Mean corpuscular haemoglobin or MCH is a common test carried out as part of a Blood Health Profile test. A MCH blood count provides an average measurement of the amount of haemoglobin carried in your red blood cells. Haemoglobin is an important protein responsible for transporting oxygen to tissues and cells in our bodies and collecting carbon dioxide to be removed from the body in the lungs.
We all encounter a certain degree of stress in our everyday lives, and while some stress is normal, too much stress can have a detrimental effect on the human body. Psychological feelings of stress can lead to physical symptoms.
