high red blood cell counts is named as Polycythemia... it means tht ur bone marrow is producing more cells thn its requirements... having more cells makes blood viscous and thr are high chances of it clogging the samll blood vessels.. u can refer to this sites for more info http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000589.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycythemia ask me if u wanna know nething else..
