It is not unknown for younger people to be diagnosed with Polycythemia but it needs professional supervision and I would suggest you obtain this before taking this any further. It is a very rare disorder and obviously not commonly found in the community.
Let us hope you do noy have it, particularly at such a young age. Good luck. It is treatable with the right medical control.

I am not a doctor, a PV patient, just my opinion.
What is your hematocrit level, if it is above 45, need a further test for JAK2 mutation.

Why does vadhna need to get checked for the jak2 mutation if his hematocrit is above 45? I don't even think they would entertain such a test unless it was above 52-54, and even then they might not, it least that is according to what I've read anayway.
