Hi guys,
I have quite high haemoglobin since now one year. I always have had around 16,9 and 17,6-8 for 10 years but now it start to run higher. I'm a bit worried about blood thickening even if my O2 level is quite stable around 95-97% for 34-year-old. I don't know if this haemoglobin level is at risk for blood thickening all other heart marker are okay and my doctor is not very worried but from what I can read online it is not optimal.
I have also quite high ferritin around 250-300 ng/dL so I assume there is a correlation here and also a high iron saturation around 55%. I will test for haemochromatosis soon.
Thanks for your help.
If you have any ideas would be welcome :) @Hans
