This suggests high free testosterone with secondary polycythemia (Hb 18.2). Elevated testosterone (endogenous or supplements) can stimulate RBC production, increasing hemoglobin and blood viscosity.
Next Steps
-Stop any testosterone/steroid supplements if taking
-If Hb persistently >18: you have to undergo phlebotomy (doctor supervised)
Health Tips
-Avoid gym supplements/anabolic steroids
-Stay well hydrated
-Watch for symptoms: headache, dizziness, redness
-Regular monitoring every 3 months
-Consult endocrinologist if levels remain high

Avoid any anabolic steroids you are taking. Repeat test after 3 weeks, if still high consult a physician physically for polycythemia.
