A member asked:

Can anemia actually cause temperature to be low? my temperature has been staying at 96. im also having chills. my hemoglobin is 9.8.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Hemoglobin of 9.8 warrants more attention than your temperature. If you are a woman and have heavy periods, it is likely to be due to iron deficiency and you should take oral iron and multivitamin supplements. If you are a male, you need to consult a GI specialist to rule out bleeding in your stomach and intestine.
