High Hematocrit of 54 but low Ferritin of 29

I have a high Hematocrit of 54 percent, Low ferritin of 29 and my estradiol senstive level is 11. I have been extremly tired with brain fog. What could be the most likely culprit??

There isn't nearly enough information provided here to make a determination, but I'm going to guess sleep apnea.

I went with your initution and ordered a cpap machine and with a nasal pillow mask. Lets see if that helps..

Here is the reason why I am still not sure if its sleep apnea now. I have lost close to 60 pounds since last year. I went from 236 pounds to 180 pounds. But I might have some anatomical issue that makes my breathing worse or upper airway restriction which happens in nonobese people too.
