Anemia: A hgb of 7 is very low, normally it is 12-13. Discuss with your doctor why it is so low. Do you have a gastrointesitnal bleeding? ulcer? tumor? congenital anemia/thalasemia?hemolysis? infection?parasite in the instestine? aplastic anemia? Finding and treating the cause is important if it can be treated. An anemia of 7 will make you dizzy. Go to an ER/ urgent care /doctor within 24 hours.
