View allI'm a bit worried about my fianc's haemoglobin levels. Just last month, it was at 16.5, and now it has jumped to 17.5. He found out when he tried to donate blood, and they suggested he see a doctor about why his haemoglobin might be increasing. Can you help us understand why this might be happening and how we can get it back to normal levels?
...I can understand your concern. a haemoglobin level of to 16 to 17 is only slightly above normal. so no need to worry for now. so individuals can have slightly high haemoglobin even normally. very high haemoglobin is seen conditions like polycythemia Vera or bone marrow abnormalities. repeat his blood investigations after a month. if it's still increasing then consult a haemotologist or general physician for further evaluation.

I've been having problems with sleep disorders and noticed my skin's looking pretty pale. My doctor suggested I get a CBC, and while my hemoglobin is usually around 11, it dropped to 7.4 this time. The doctor couldn't believe the CBC report and asked me to redo it. The next morning, it went down to 7 with platelets at 629. I also had an abdomen pelvis ultrasound, but everything came back normal. Now, doctors keep passing me off to someone else. What could be going on?
