Slightly elevated hemoglobin
Hello i am a bit concerned as my hemoglobin is slightly elevated. I am attaching my report please tell me as my doctor told me nothing to worry about but google is making me scared now. I do smoke and drink too. Past reports that i have checked sometimes it was normal and sometimes borderline. I have done cbc in the past for other reasons nothing related to high hemoglobin.
