I'm having some trouble breathing, mostly when I'm walking or at night. It feels like there's something blocking my nose, and sometimes I get a mild chest pain. I saw in my blood test that my hemoglobin is at 10.3gm. I'm just wondering, could these symptoms be because of my low blood count or is there something else going on?

I'm a bit worried because my recent test showed my hemoglobin level is 8.6, and I was told that's on the low side. About three months ago, I was fastingcould that be related? Can you suggest ways to boost my hemoglobin level, and what foods should I focus on? Are there any symptoms or serious issues I should be aware of with a level like this? Also, how long does it usually take to see an improvement?

With a hemoglobin level of 8.6, which is below the normal range of 13.5-17.5 gdL for adults, you may experience symptoms like fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath; to improve your hemoglobin level, consume iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, lentils, and fortified cereals, and vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits, bell peppers, and tomatoes to enhance iron absorption with proper diet and supplements, you can expect to see improvements in your hemoglobin level within 2-3 months, but regular follow-up blood tests are necessary to monitor progress.
