I'm wondering if having high MCH and MCV levels could be making me gain weight. Also, could these levels cause any issues with altitude sickness? I'm planning to climb Kilimanjaro next month, so I'm curious about how this might affect me.

High MCH and MCV often indicate macrocytic anemia, which can affect energy levels and endurance, possibly making weight gain harder and altitude sickness more challenging. Before climbing Kilimanjaro, consult your doctor to address this, as anemia may impact oxygen transport in high-altitude conditions.
