How Severe Is A 4th Heart Attack With Blood Thickness 69.3 In Patients With Polycythemia?

I was diagnosed with Polycythemia in 2005 but no one ever told me about it until I had a 4th heart attack in 2010 and they said I should have been under care - my blood thickness was 69.3 - with blood thinning it is now at 43.8 How bad has this mess hurt?

hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
I need to know exact level of your Hemoglobin to guide you properly.You should consult a hematologist and under his supervision you must remove blood from your body.This is called phlebotomy.
You must maintain your Hb below 18 mg%
my best wishes
