A member asked:
Is 9.4 hemoglobin still low? (2 weeks ago needed 3 emergency blood transfusions due to major blood loss from gastrointest. hemorrhage w/melena).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really. : 9.4 is low but it's not " Too"' low. More important is whether you are having symptoms of anemia( heart racing, low blood pressure, short of breath, etc). Your blood count should increase unless you are still bleeding internally. Did they find a source ?? Follow with your GI Doc. You will need scopes if not already done If the returns go to ER
