  5. I'm 80 and recently started having chest pain, so I went to the hospital. The doctor had me take a blood test, and it turns out I have polycythemia vera. They've been taking my blood twice a week to keep it thin, but now I'm feeling really exhausted, and it's hard to manage. Can you suggest what I should do?
