Brief Answer:
Hello. You told me wrongly

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. So you did a mistake. Your hemoglobin is elevated and so your hematocrit. These are mild elevations and can be there if you are a smoker. If you are not a smoker, then further test need to be done to rule out polycythemia vera. These include a Erythropoeitin level and red cell mass.
Thanks and regards
