A high hemoglobin count occurs most commonly when your body requires an increased oxygen-carrying capacity specifically if you smoke. Sometimes It can be genetic as well

Why do we feel dizzy after blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please check my blood report. Some values are higher. Please advise as I am very worried after seeing this report. I also tested urine routine and microscopy which are normal?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Dear Doctor, an 8 year old girl has been suffering from fever, and her blood report shows a haemoglobin level of 10.1, a total leukocyte count of 3700, and a C reactive protein level of 22 mg per dL. I am concerned about these results and would like to know if this situation is an emergency.
