Hello there. I can understand your concern. Less is not normal and even more is not normal. What's your RBC count? If it's more then it could be polycythemia. Get it checked out by a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
