Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Jyothi BL and I will be answering your query.
It seems by the question and percentage, you might be talking about hemoglobin percentage.
The normal hemoglobin percentage in males is upto 16.5gm% and in hilly areas or smokers or even with respiratory problems, 18gm% is also normal. Without knowing exact hemoglobin percentage I cannot comment further. Let me know the hemoglobin percentage and red cell indices for further advice. Happy to help again.
