It may not be: the whole reason but it certainly could contribute to the potential for fainting. See a health care provider for a thorough evaluation.

It's possible: A hemoglobin of 10 reveals anemia, and certainly when people are anemic they can faint more easily. You need to see your doctor promptly to find out why you are anemic and to check for any source of blood loss. They also may want to make more investigation into the fainting. See him soon. Do not delay. Good work.
