Dear madam i can understand your concern
The condition what you are facing would be polycythemia. In this condition there will be excess of red blood cells in blood.
The excess of red cells in blood increases the viscosity of blood and make the flow of blood difficult in your blood vessels.
There is a new technology which is very safe,it separates cells from blood and resend blood back to our body.
in olden days they use to remove blood and discard it which is a very crude method with invent of new technology its really very safe with this cell separator.
