Polycythemia vera
Anyone knoe someone who has this because I think I have it. I go see a doc for this and I have to give blood once a week.Being on gear doesnt help it any but I'm not going off anytime soon . I'll be on for the next 20 years. Out of all of these symptoms look below I have,
Itchiness, especially following a warm bath or shower
Shortness of breath
Breathing difficulty when you lie down
A feeling of fullness or bloating in your left upper abdomen
Fatigue
Whats funny is I thought my cardio was horrible and now I know its from this. The blood cant pump through my heart fast enough and when this happens I start to have a panic attack. Its been alot better lately. So I hope giving blood reduces the blood level back to normal because I dont want to take the medication they have for it.
