Question 3

what is considered dangerous in low hemoglobin?

Accepted Answer

ALWAYS serious: Being "a little bit anemic" is like being "a little bit pregnant." even if the anemia is not life-threatening, it warns that you're sick and you need to find the cause. Especially, iron deficiency anemia without explanation screams out for a work-up -- "am i losing blood into my gut from an undiagnosed cancer?" you must demand your physician find the cause.

Question 4

low hemoglobin in toddler

Accepted Answer

Define low: After somewhat elevated hemoglobin  levels around birth, infants grow faster than their blood is produced & have relatively low hemoglobin levels in infancy and childhood when compared to teen or adult values. The expected hemoglobin values vary by age and gender.If really low, it most often reflects nutritional deficiency , specifically for iron, but could also be due to losses.

Question 5

does stress lead to low level  in hemoglobin?

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: Hemoglobin is the molecule in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to our body's tissues. It can be low because we aren't making enough hemoglobin (as in  iron deficiency), or when we are losing blood somehow (heavy periods, bleeding from the bowel, etc.). Check with your doctor if you have become aware of a low hemoglobin to find the answer(s) that fit your situation. Lgromkomd.

Question 6

how can i increase my hemoglobin level in one month?

Accepted Answer

It all depends: On why it is low in the first place.

Question 7

how do i increase hemoglobin content in my own blood?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Is your hb low or do you want to have it higher than normal?  If it is low, first step is to determine the cause and treat the cause.  Living at high altitude will raise the hb level in a normal person with normal hb.

Question 8

how can  the hemoglobin level in the body be increased?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on the reason that it is low.  About the only thing that you can do on your own is dietary.  If you have anemia because of low iron or vitamin deficiency, then improving your diet may help.

Question 9

what does it mean when your hemoglobin level drops in 2 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: If hb has dropped by one gram over two weeks, that means that you have lost about 300-500 ml of blood or more.  It may be due to external bleeding e., g., menstrual bleed or internal, such as a bleeding peptic ulcer.  If you have appreciable drop in hb over two weeks, see your doctor asap.

Question 10

my hemoglobin level went from 11 to 9 in 2 weeks is that normal?

Accepted Answer

This is serious: A workup to find the cause of your anemia should have begun when your hemoglobin was found to be 11. There are lots of causes of anemia. The cause needs to be found. For example, I wouldn't want your bleeding stomach ulcer to be recognized only after massive bleeding has led to a trip to the operating room.
