Depends on cause: If this is the result of acute blood loss, your circulatory system could go into shock. Assuming this low hgb. Developed over time and is not immediately life-threatening, the main risks are those associated with whatever is causing the anemia. If it's iron deficiency, the cause might be slow blood loss from the GI tract;you need to fing the cause of bleeding. But there are many causes of anemia.
