    • Women: 4.2 to 5.4 million red blood cells per microliter of blood.
    • Children: 4.0 to 5.5 million red blood cells per microliter of blood.

    • Lack of energy
    • Headache or dizziness
    • Blurry vision
    • Cold hands and feet
    Medical conditions that affect a low red blood cell count include:
    • Anemia: Your blood carries less oxygen than normal and causes your body to feel cold, tired and weak.
    • Blood loss: Your body loses more blood cells than it can produce.
    • Bone marrow disorder: You experience damage to your bone marrow, where red blood cells form (leukemia, lymphoma).
    • Cancer: Certain cancers and chemotherapy treatment for cancer can affect the number of red blood cells your body produces.
    Medical conditions that affect a high red blood cell count include:
    • Polycythemia Vera: A high red blood cell count causes your blood to thicken, leading to heart attack or stroke.
    • Congenital heart disease: One or more structures in your heart is irregular due to not forming completely during fetal development.
    • Lung disease: The tissue in your lungs scars due to emphysema, COPD or pulmonary fibrosis.
    • Hypoxia: The oxygen level in your blood is low.
    • Carbon monoxide: Smoking increases your chance of exposure to carbon monoxide.
    Causes that contribute to low red blood cell count include:
    • Vitamin deficiency (iron, B9 and B12).
    • Malnutrition.
    • Preexisting medical conditions or cancer treatment (chemotherapy).
    Causes that contribute to a high red blood cell count include:
    • Smoking cigarettes.
    • Living at a high elevation.
