How would increased red blood cell production affect blood viscosity and what problems would this cause for someone with high blood pressure?

Increased increased red cell production (polycythaemia) makes blood 'thicker' and increases the tendency to clot.

The main worry for someone with High Blood Pressure is that they are already at risk of heart disease and stroke so with the increased blood viscosity the risk is even higher.

The type/cause of the polycythaemia is also relevant - high blood pressure itself can cause increased blood viscosity, or the cause could be genetic or some other underlying illness (eg chronic lung disease).

Either way, it is important to manage the increased red blood cell situation and the hypertension swiftly.

It is also important to give up smoking and lose weight.
