Should I worry and contact my doctor about my high red blood cell count and high hemoglobin level of 18.5, especially since I am currently taking the blood pressure medication Tazloc AM 80?

A hemoglobin level of 18.5 is elevated. Your blood pressure medication, Tazloc AM 80 (which contains telmisartan and amlodipine), is highly unlikely to cause this; in fact, telmisartan can sometimes slightly lower red blood cell levels. High hemoglobin is often linked to simple factors like dehydration, smoking, or sleep apnea. While this is not an immediate emergency, it is important to contact your doctor for a routine follow-up. They can safely evaluate the cause, perhaps by simply repeating the blood test. Please stay well-hydrated in the meantime.
