Does hypoxia lead to elevated hemoglobin count in CCSVI? Have you had abnormally high hemoglobin levels?

does hyp[oxia lead to elevated hemoglobin

not local hypoxia like that. You are thinking of someone who is in the mountains for example. In that situation they do make more hemoglobin because the body can't make do with less.

In a local hypoxic thing like this that does not happen, in other words when it is just one tissue somewhere that is not the way the body works.
