Hi Guys,
Apologies to jump in on this post.... I have a post in the main thread that hasn’t been answered but is the same issue that’s being experienced here. Low mch, low mcv High hemocrit And high red blood cells.
I too am fatigued and have blood pressure of 160/100 on 90mg test per week,been told by my doc I’m mild anemic but don’t want to take iron supplements for fear of increasing hemocrit any more. I am donating blood this afternoon, last time was 3 months ago. Will see if blood pressure is affected.
