All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that,what you described warrants that polycythemia vera be ruled out. It would be prudent to consult a hematologist. for info: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/polycythemia-vera
