A member asked:
If someone's hemoglobin is falling about 1 and a half points a week, is this slowly enough for the body to make adjustments to the change?

Seek immediate: medical and hematology consultation. If your Hgb is dropping as much as you say, you may have internal bleeding. Call for an appointment today.

Why do you ask?: Hemoglobin should not be dropping, and the big day never fully adjusts. Anemia is both a health problem in itself, and a sign that something is seriously wrong and needs to be addressed.
