Could A Little Yardwork Before Hemocratic Blood Draw Raise Levels Or False Readings

A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭
Brookpark, OH

Did yard work before blood draw,Hemotoligist visit and possible phlebotomy. Hemocratic was 46, blood pressure low she asked if I wanted to come back next week or drink fluids and crackers to raise blood pressure. She left it up to me. I drank fluids , blood pressure went up and I got phlebotomy . I was wondering if I made the right choice

My blood pressure is often too low for phlebotomy and I have to do as you did. But my hematocrit is also usually too high. Other than usual housework, I really don't do anything very strenuous
