Hi! Thanks for sharing your health problems with us! Sorry to mention that polycythemia vera is a disease with genetic abnormalities at the bone marrow stem cell level therefore you can treat only its symptoms not the disease itself until stem cells are replenished/replaced!
However, many cytotoxic effective medicines are there to help you lead a normal life that needs a hematologist's prescription and supervision.
The symptoms you mentioned are due to your main disease and controllable by medicines; please visit ER.
