LOW BLOOD COUNT: Hemoglobin refers to the molecule w/in a red blood cell that carries the oxygen. When you have low hemoglobin, you have anemia. Anemia sometimes indicates ongoing bleeding; often hidden from the naked eye, and it can produce increased fatigue, decreased stamina, chest pain & shortness of breath. I assume your hemoglobin is 9.8 in which case you should certainly follow up with your Dr.
