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?

I'm a 21-year-old female and recently found out that my red blood cell count is a bit higher than normal. It came back at 5.19 gdl, even though the range is usually 3.80-5.10 gdl. My doctor said not to worry but it's still on my mind. Should I be concerned about this?

No need to worry! Your red blood cell count is only slightly above the normal range, which can happen due to dehydration, stress, or even being at higher altitudes. Since your doctor isnt concerned, its likely not seriousjust stay hydrated and follow up if needed.
