I'm a bit concerned after getting my blood test results. My hemoglobin level showed up at 17.7, which I've read could mean I have polycythemia. Do you think I should see a specialist about this? And if so, what kind of specialist would be the right one to get in touch with? I'm also curious about what might be causing this condition.

A hemoglobin level of 17.7 is indeed high and may indicate polycythemia, a condition that requires medical attention; it's essential to consult a specialist, specifically a hematologist (blood disorder specialist), to confirm the diagnosis, rule out underlying causes such as chronic hypoxia, sleep apnea, or kidney tumors, and develop a treatment plan to prevent potential complications like blood clots and strokes.

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.
