I had my first phlebotomy treatment for polycythemia two days ago. i have had a bad headache each morning since. is this normal or probably unrelated?

Polycythemia Rx: You need to know what is the cause of polycythemia if it is primary problem in the bone marrow or secondary to other causes in the body. If your doctor did not find any source for the increase in your blood count and you are symptomatic i personally hate phlebotomy since you lose iron from the first blood draw and you start suffering from iron deficiency symptoms. Take Hydroxyurea pills ask Dr.
