Suggest Cause For Polycythemia Vera

Hi! was just looking for reasons why a broncospasm can occur suddenly without reasons. I work in ICU Royal Victoria hosp. in Montreal. It happened to me upon entering a pts room within 7 min. of initiating pt. assesment. I m a nurse ; lasted less than 2 min, otherwise I m a smoker,oops, and healthy so far. TX!! We had a pt recently with ribavirus, prior to this one presently and toilet removed from this room due to smell of mold. Yes its an old hospital! This has never happened to me before.

dear user, it is nothing but, abnormalities in red blood cell production cause an increase in red cell count. In secondary polycythemia, factors external to red blood cell production (for example, hypoxia, sleep apnea, certain tumors) result in polycythemia.
Polycythemia vera doesn't have a cure. However, treatments can help control the disease and its complications. PV is treated with procedures, medicines, and other methods. You may need one or more treatments to manage the disease.
