High haemoglobin
I am 60, male with stenting since 2016 and controlled diabetes since 2021. My cholesterol is also controlled, except haemoglobin. Since 2016, the haemoglobin is under 16-18 range. Is it concerning? I don't have any symptoms. I can visit to high altitude places as well without breathing problems.

High hemoglobin levels, known as polycythemia, can be caused by various factors such as dehydration, smoking, lung diseases, or underlying medical conditions like polycythemia vera. It's crucial to consult to identify the cause and determine if further evaluation or treatment is necessary.
