Male... age 54... hemoglobin 11.7 gm/dl rbc 3.5 millions/ ul. is this ok? how do i raise my hemoglobin & rbc? thank you?

Low hemoglobin. Hemoglobin value less than 13.5 gm/dl in your age is generally considered as anemia. Consult your primary care physician who will sort out the cause (s) and render proper management.

Anemia in an adult male is a cause for concern and internal bleeding needs to be ruled out. You should see a doctor to assess the cause of low hemoglobin and treat the cause. Wish you good health!
