Had hb at 7.5. ferretin at 15.was very tired but still trying to exercise.were my levels really low? dr didn't worry much, said take iron. now hb=13.5

Yes, very low: Hemoglobin of 7.5 is really low. If you had an other illness at the same time, you might have received a blood transfusion. Follow your doctor's advice and keep taking iron. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
