I have recently had CBC and iron studies along with a lot of rheumatology tests. My H and H and iron came back extremely high. I have put in a call to my primary, but am concerned that this may represent polycythemia vera. I have reviewed signs and symps, and the only one that I do not have is weight los. I have left upper quadrant fullness/pain, constant headache, painful joints, including toes, elbows, knees, back pain, muscle trigger points (multiple), very strange vision changes, and extreme fatigue/malaise.

Summarized question: Are high H and H and iron due to polycythemia vera?
