High HB Level

Dear Patient,

In simple terms, polycythemia just means excessive red blood cells. This is not a disease in and of itself. Some people have high Hb levels to compensate for living at high altitudes, being athletic, having some breathing issues etc. If you have no other conditions and this was a simple routine test then you should not be stressed. If the levels are unusually high and you have some symptoms you can consult a hematologist (blood specialist) who can guide you on this matter.

For further help, we advise booking an appointment with the best hematologists in Karachi and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/karachi/hematologist
