Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you that this is polycythemia, a medical condition where RBC count and hemoglobin increases. There are many causes of polycythemia it is necessary to have full history and examination to rule out the exact cause of the disease. kindly visit nearby doctor to rule out the condition.
