Are My Hematocrit Levels Too High, and Should I Be Worried? - #15129
I recently got a blood test done, and my hematocrit levels came back slightly high. My doctor wasn’t too concerned, but I made the mistake of Googling it, and now I’m really anxious. Apparently, high hematocrit levels can increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart problems. Should I be worried? I do feel more fatigued than usual, and I’ve been getting mild headaches lately. I thought it was just dehydration, but could it be connected to my hematocrit? Also, my hands and feet sometimes feel cold, which I’ve read can be a sign of circulation issues. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but I want to be proactive. Can Ayurveda help regulate hematocrit levels naturally? Are there specific herbs, foods, or lifestyle changes that can improve blood circulation without medication? I’d love to hear from anyone who has dealt with high hematocrit levels naturally. What actually works? Should I be drinking more water, changing my diet, or doing specific exercises?
