Post Body

Since a long time (10 years ) my hemoglobin and hematocrit have been high. A bit above the normal top. I have been sent (in the far past) to a oncologist. Teated for polycythemia - which was not it.

Root cause have never been established. Not sure why but I didn't get other tests.

Now I am wondering if it could be sleep apnea. I never wake refreshed.

Just would appreciate some personal experiences with the topic. Will ask my doc about the option to get a sleep test (unless it's very unlikely to be caused by sleep apnea).
