Question 1

i am male 18 b+ have low blood in my body as compared to normal what should i do to increase my blood level..

Accepted Answer

: Did you make that determination yourself or by blood test? If it is by blood test then the medical professional would know what to do to find out why first, so the root should be corrected. If you are loosing blood from the gastrointestinal tract it is important to fix; and nutrition should strengthen you along with vitamin supplements and probably Iron, if low.

Question 2

i feel quite low all the day...my blood level is normal..what can be that?

Accepted Answer

Feeling low: Not sure what you mean by blood level; do you mean you aren't anemic? Low energy levels can be caused by many other issues like underactive thyroid, diabetes, electrolyte imbalances., lack of sleep, sleep apnea, depression, improper diet, stress...The list is very long. You need to have more evaluation than you can get here in order to figure out what is going on.

Practice safe sex.

Question 4

what to eat or take to increase my blood level?

Accepted Answer

It depends: You need to know exactly what you mean from 'blood level'.
Your blood has 3 types of cells: red cells, white cells and platelets. Each one of these cells can go down and be reported low. The reasons for low counts are different for each cell type and the solutions are similary different for each. So learn something more about your problem and then ask your doctor about the cause and its solution.

Question 6

my mcv blood level is 66. is this low? is it dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Insist on an answer: If you're mildly or not anemic and your RBC count is a bit high, you probably have thalassemia minor which is a non-problem unless you marry someone else who has it. If your RBC count is also lowish and/or you're seriously anemic, you're likely to be iron deficient. There are other possibilities. Your physician needs to explain. Best wishes.

Question 7

is 8.2 calcium blood level low ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: While not dangerously low, 8.2 is slightly below most reference ranges of low normal.  Supplements and retesting are reasonable starting points for you.

Question 8

my b12 blood level is 154, is this low?

Accepted Answer

Very low: Yes, that is a very low B12 level. You will almost certainly feel much better when you get it up- try to raise it to at least 600. Unless you are following a vegan diet you're probably not absorbing B12 and it would be best to get B12 shots, ideally methylcobalamin or hydroxycobalamin. See http://bit.Ly/1607tg3 and

Question 9

what does it mean if my calcium blood level was mildly low?

Accepted Answer

What was the level?: Blood calcium is present in two forms, ionized and bound to albumin. Ionized calcium is the physiologically active form. Low levels of Albumin will result in low total calcium without any effect on the physiology. It would require knowing the actual calcium level and serum Albumin level to provide a meaningful opinion.

Question 10

how many meq of sodium would raise blood level from 139 to 144?

Accepted Answer

: If would depend on body weight, more importantly you volume of body water. Both levels are within normal limits and there is medical reason to making the change.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
