Your Hgb is borderline You don't mention what the total red blood cell count,hematocrit,MCV,MCH,MCHC, platelet count, & white blood cell count are. Abnormal results of these could point to Vit. B12 or folic acid deficiency, alcohol excess, early bone marrow failure like hypoplastic anemia,myelofibrosis. A hematologist can evaluate & advise you best.
