Probably not: You should see a hematologist for the elevated hgb/hct - but chances are everything is ok.

Looks good: Theses values look pretty normal to me not having this labs normal ranges for comparison. The hct is a little high and could reflect low oxygen levels during sleep. Should be able to get oxygen data from sleep study.

Sleep apnea: I would recommend treating the sleep apnea. Breathing is critical to a healthy functioning body. Brain function and health are not always reflected in numbers. The ramifications of untreated sleep apnea can be significant so why not treat it?
