Hi doctors, I recently went my PCP for an annual exam & my RBC is 5.25. The normal range according to his chart is 3.87 - 5.15. He didn't seem too concerned about it. Mom said it's b/c I smoke, which I've cut down to 2 cigs/day (used to be 4-6). I plan on being completely smoke free by May '15... in the meantime, is there anything else I can do to lower it? Will I be able to go through w/ surgery in August if it stays the same?? my stats: I'm 27 yrs 5'5 170lbs and dieting (23lbs lost since 1.1.15)
