yes high hb level can cause your symptoms. and your hb level is too high for a women. however many causes are ther like dehydration, dengue or viral infection. so repeat it for two to three times, if it it persisitentl high you may have some serios disorder like polycythemia. so go to doctor and diagnosed properly. and then take treatment accordingly.
