A member asked:
My hemoglobin count is 11.8 does that mean i have iron deficiency anemia?

Likely: You are anemic and the commonest cause of anemia in women your age is iron deficiency due to menstrual blood loss. You should take oral iron and multivitamins and recheck in 6 months, unless you develop other symptoms. If you are a man, see your doctor for a work-up to rule out bleeding in the stomach.
