Anemia: Do not know what you are feeling in your lung, but if your hemoglobin is 5.8 gm/dl you need to see your doctor asap. If this is 5, 800, 000 rbc/ml then that is high and needs to be looked at since secondary erythrocytosis may occur with underlying malignancies and other conditions. Go and see your doctor. Good luck.
