What can cause low hgb (13.9gm/bl) and hct (39.7%) levels? my iron was normal. folate level (18.6ng) is high, but b12 is normal. my hgb and hct were low on 2 different tests about 2 or 3 months apart? yesterday my blood pressure was 100/68?

These hemoglobin and hematocrit numbers are entirely normal. Even if these numbers are very slightly below the numbers given by this particular lab, I see nothing to be concerned about and there is no need for further evaluation. Discuss with your doctor if you remain concerned.

Your hemoglobin level is barely below the normal limit. If it has been stable, it may be your normal and not a cause for concern. You may wish to ask your doctor to repeat the test in 6 months or so.
