What happens when hemoglobin levels increase in your body?

Answer 1

hemoglobin is a protein, helps store energy in the cells

==================================

Haemoglobin, a protein, is rather known as the oxygen/carbon dioxide carrier. Tucked safely inside the red blood cells, they bind to oxygen molecules from the lungs (alveoli) (four oxygen molecules per haemoglobin), and carry them, in the blood stream, to the tissues. While at the tissues, they release the oxygen as needed. Haemoglobins also carry carbon dioxide from the tissues to the alveoli, where the carbon dioxide molecules are released. (gas exchange).

Answer 2

When hemoglobin levels increase in your body, it essentially means there is an increase in oxygen in your red blood cells to compensate a lack of something. Those who live in high altitudes or those that smoke will typically have a high hemoglobin due to the oxygen restrictions.

Answer 3

Increased hemoglobin levels can indicate dehydration, lung disease, high altitude living, or certain medical conditions like polycythemia vera. It can lead to symptoms like headache, dizziness, fatigue, and in severe cases can increase the risk of blood clots and stroke. Consulting a healthcare provider is important to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.
