I can't find definitive answer on this.
I'm going to the doctor tomorrow but I had a pint of blood removed today and but before it was taken my hematocrit was 58%. I have no clue how long it's been this high.
I didn't take my shot like I was supposed to tonight. I've been cruising and blasting unchecked since september of last year. My bloodpressure is normal.
I'd rather not say my age but I am younger than 23.
What percentage is dangerous?
55+ is dangerous. 58 is outrageous. You won't even be able to donate blood, it's too thick. But you can try and get a prescription for a draw. Do this yesterday.
I had it drawn today. 1 pint taken. Do you think it went down at all? I'm going to the actual doctor tomorrow to get a prescription for another draw. I'm honestly scared.
not enough.... probably need a double red cells.Quote:

Is that true? I'm just trying to calm down. I read someone saying they had a heart attack at 58%. Then you use the word "outrageous"
The number is an indication of how thick your blood is. 58%, you tell me... Your blood is like mud dragging around. the "worker" is an idiot. Why do you have to define dangerous as fatal?Quote:
