Is there any risk associated with raised Haemoglobin?

Question: I am suffering from CAD, had PTCA with stenting in the LCx in June, 2005. I am on regularmedication with Pantoprazol, Thiazide, Metoprolol, Ramipril, Clopidogrel, Aspirin, Atorvastation, and there has been marked clinical improvement aswell as in laboratory parameters. HDL has improved to 36 from 23, LDL reduced to 119 from 145, Triglyceride reduced to 118 from 205, Platelet-count is 280000 [not much reduced] and Hb remains high [15.5 gm ]. Prostate specific antigen remains low [1.04 ng/ml].

yes, you need to ask the doctor about that, a friend of mine just had that problem and they have to take blood out of here body every week to avoide some serious risk.
