High hematocrit levels are not directly linked to fibromyalgia, which is primarily characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and other symptoms without identifiable inflammation or hematological abnormalities. However, certain conditions that may coexist with fibromyalgia, such as dehydration or chronic hypoxia, could lead to elevated hematocrit levels. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation if there are concerns about hematocrit levels or fibromyalgia symptoms.
RBCs are made up of hemoglobin, therefore if the hematocrit is high you should expect a high hemoglobin determination.

For a man, it isn't. For a woman it is a little high.
If you have a high hematocrit, your hemoglobin levels would likely be high as well. Hematocrit measures the volume of red blood cells in blood, while hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. An increase in hematocrit often corresponds with an increase in hemoglobin levels.
usually peripheral edema is cause by right sided heart failure . people with COPD have polycythemia , means high level of RBCs , means high level of hemoglobin . when hemoglobin is high , hematocrit is high also . People who have a high hematocrit count may be at higher risk for heart problems

Leg pain is in fact a symptom of fibromyalgia. however, having leg pain does not necessarily mean you have fibromyalgia, it could be a symptom of many leg-related problems.

Plasma volume and hematocrit are inversely related; as plasma volume increases, hematocrit tends to decrease, and vice versa. Hematocrit is the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells, so if the plasma volume rises due to factors like fluid retention, the concentration of red blood cells decreases, lowering hematocrit. Conversely, if plasma volume decreases (e.g., due to dehydration), hematocrit increases as red blood cells become more concentrated. This relationship is important for maintaining proper blood viscosity and oxygen transport.
Hematocrit is the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells. A high hematocrit level may indicate dehydration, polycythemia, or other conditions that increase red blood cell production. Conversely, a low hematocrit level can suggest anemia, blood loss, or bone marrow disorders. Abnormal hematocrit levels can provide important insights into a person's overall health and should be evaluated in conjunction with other clinical findings.
