Hello. i am 27 yr old male. i had my blood work on jan 2023, and my hb level was 14.2 g/dl. today i had my blood work done again (flu) and my hb level is 13.2 g/dl. does this indicate loss of blood? is it normal to drop this way? thanks?

The change is minimal and most often reflects a low intake of iron containing foods like red meats or iron containing vegetables. Blood loss would be lower on the list of possibilities. Taking an iron supplement for a month would be the usual first approach to treatment unless other factors pointed to a different diagnosis.
