“Does exercise decrease hemoglobin?”
I am a 40 year old male and I have high hemoglobin. Does exercise decrease hemoglobin?

On the contrary, exercise or any physical activity increases hemoglobin levels in the blood. Exercise causes the CO2 to be released from the tissue and therefore more oxygen demand to be delivered to the tissue. Thank you.
A slightly high hemoglobin is normal. Exercise will not decrease hemoglobin. Nothing will except drawing blood away from your body.
I would not think so, but this is a question for your hematologist.
