High hemoglobin levels are most often caused by low oxygen levels in the blood (hypoxia), present over a long period of time. Common reasons include undiagnosed medical conditions such as bone marrow disease that causes abnormal increase in red blood cells (polycythemia vera) and heart diseases. In addition, certain medications can also hamper with hemoglobin levels.
Higher values of hemoglobin that is more than 16-17 in men and women indicate a underlying medical condition. Consult with an Apollo doctor to know your exact cause.
You are immediately advised to take medications and be active everyday (45mins of brisk walk) daily. Avoid refined carbohydrates and sugars. Additionally, fill half of your plate with non starchy vegetables at every meal, and include lean protein and plant based fat to assist with blood sugar control
