High hemocratit and BP

[Bonaparte]

What you need to understand is that managing your BP and managing your HCT are 2 different things.
Hematocrit must be kept in check (ideally 45%) to prevent blood clots and other symptoms of polycythemia (including tachycardia and hypertension).

BP always needs to be kept in check, regardless of what your hematocrit is.

So first make sure that your hematocrit is in range, then medicate the BP as needed (since there are FAR more factors involved in BP than just blood viscosity).
