What is considered freak of nature tier hemoglobin levels? What is the hemoglobin count of elite tier cyclist?
I donated blood a week ago and got results from my bloodwork. I measured 16.3g/dL which they considered higher than high but it doesn't seem to be freakishly high but I have no baseline numbers outside of the range for the average human. My blood tested the same 2 years ago when I went to the hospital and never noticed I had an abnormally high hemoglobin, PO2, SO2, and blood gas levels because I just skimmed the papers.
Give it to me straight Doc, am I just above average or an elite freak?
