A member asked:

How to know if i have too high hemoglobin levels at 17%?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

That is fine: How do you feel? It is a little high than most guys but nothing really odd. It will not interfere with anything. Do you smoke? Do you have sleep apnea?

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
