So i very recently came off cycle and started having heart palpitations. Saw my primary and had an EKG, which she said came back normal. My blood pressure was pretty high so she prescribed me lisinopryl and had me do bloodwork that day.
She also had me schedule with a cardiologist. I was able to see a cardiologist two days later. He did another EKG. He put a "CAM" on my chest that i wear for 14 days. I also have an Echo two days from now.
I was mainly curious about my bloodwork because i havent donated blood in a while. I went into the primary yesterday to get the results. She said they were all within normal ranges and if i wanted a copy the front desk would print it out when i left.
So i get a copy and go sit in the car and look at it and no they're not all within range.
The bloodwork is through Quest so i dont remember the reference ranges. (I left the papers in my gfs car last night so don't have it on me at the moment but I remember the numbers)
My RBC was 52 (i think the range went up to 48), my hemoglobin was 18.6 (which i believe might be past the limit for me being allowed to donate.) Hematocrit was 56 (the range ended at 50).
These were all marked as have high and she acted like it was no big deal.
Ill say, ive been using hormones for about 5-6 years. In past years there were points when i was getting ready for a meet that i was usually a dick load of gear and ive never ever had my levels get that high.
In all my bloodwork those levels are abnormally high for me personally so i really wonder if they could be contributing to the heart palpitations.
I just want to make sure I'm not mistaken. Are these numbers high and warrant donation or phlebotomy or should i just let it go? Either way my cardiologist will see the bloodwork in a couple days.
I'm just frankly a little pissed that i go in to the doctor for heart issues and the doc acts like these numbers are completely normal. In just wondering if they could be a factor.
