I Have An Elevated Red Blood Cell Count. I Have

I have an elevated red blood cell count.
I have seen a hemotogist- my blood is fine.
I have seen a lung specialist - no reason can be found as to why my oxygen levels (75 when I walk) are so low & my lungs not do not seem to be the cause. Have had a cat scan and have an MRI ordered.
Cardiologist cannot find anything abnormal with my heart.
I do retain water and am on water pills to stop swelling in my feet. I have to be on oxygen, of course, due to my low oxygen levels. No doctor/specialist seems to know the cause of my low oxygen levels. I only hope that you can help me to help them to figure out my condition. Can you help me?
