Hi there. Thank you for posting your question with XXXXXXX I will do my best to help you.

Your BP is high. This may be what we used to call "Essential Hypertension" meaning that no cause could be identified.

Its a term that is used very much less nowadays. A Few things occur to me.

Stress. In my 30 years of experience as a General Practitioner I often identified stress as the single most potent pusher up of BP. If you have stress in your life, deal with it, get rid of it.

Alcohol. Reduce it a bit!

Familial. Think of Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

I hope that I have answered your questions fully and been of some help. If you have anymore questions please contact me again anytime.

Thank you for your follow up question.

The possible causes for a raised haemoglobin are many and complex, varying from polycythaemia, to heart disease, to living at high altitudes.

Sorry, but this is not an area in which I can claim any expertise. This really needs to be investigated by a haematologist. Bone marrow pathology however would not be at all high on my list as possible causes.
