high hemoglobin causes - #18171

Doctor, I recently had some blood tests done as part of a routine health checkup, and my doctor told me that I have high hemoglobin levels. I was surprised, as I’ve never had any major issues with my health before, but I’ve been feeling increasingly energetic and active lately, even though I sometimes experience headaches, dizziness, and a slight shortness of breath. The doctor didn’t seem overly concerned, but I’m wondering if these symptoms might be linked to the higher hemoglobin levels. I’ve read that high hemoglobin causes can include dehydration, living in high-altitude areas, or chronic lung diseases, but I don’t live at a high altitude and haven’t been diagnosed with any lung issues. Could it be possible that my exercise routine or lifestyle is influencing my hemoglobin levels? I work out regularly and drink more water than I used to, but I’m wondering if these changes could lead to increased hemoglobin production. From an Ayurvedic perspective, could this high hemoglobin be a result of an imbalance in Pitta dosha, since Pitta governs metabolism and heat in the body? Could an overactive metabolism contribute to excess red blood cell production and lead to higher hemoglobin levels? What Ayurvedic treatments or herbs can help balance my Pitta dosha and reduce the excess heat that might be affecting my hemoglobin? Are there any lifestyle adjustments I should make, such as changes to my exercise routine or diet, to help balance my hemoglobin levels? I’ve read that Turmeric, Kutki, and Arjuna are beneficial for balancing blood and improving circulation—would these help with my high hemoglobin? I would appreciate your advice on how I can manage this condition naturally and prevent any potential complications.
