Could my sudden, unexplained weight loss of 3 to 4 kg over the past 45 days be a sign of a medical issue, considering I have a blood disorder called polycythemia vera, take Ecosprin 75 mg daily, had my last blood-removal treatment (phlebotomy) in June, and recently had a hemoglobin level of 16.2?
Hello. It is completely understandable to feel concerned about unexplained weight loss. With polycythemia vera, a sudden weight loss of 3 to 4 kg, along with a hemoglobin level of 16.2, does require a prompt evaluation by your hematologist. Sometimes, these changes can suggest that your red blood cell production or spleen size needs closer monitoring. Your daily aspirin (Ecosprin) helps protect your blood vessels, but it does not manage the red blood cell count itself. Please reach out to your specialist soon so they can check your blood counts, ensure your treatment plan is on track, and help you feel much better. We are here to support you.
