It's mostly due to dehydration .. check whether you are feeling dizzy or have a headache . It's also seen in smokers and people living inhigh altitudes  due to chronic hypoxia or less oxygen to lungs.. body compensates by producing more RBC. It may also be something big like polycythemia vera or some rare tumors but can't be concluded straightaway without further evaluation ..
Next Steps
Check for erythropoietin levels to rule out serious causes and repeat cbc after 1 month
Health Tips
Don't worry stay hydrated and quit smoking if you are smoker
