I'm really concerned about my hemoglobin levels. In July, my HB was at 8.7, and now it's dropped to 5.8. I've already done all the blood-related tests, but they haven't shown any issues. I'm wondering if drinking red wine could help increase my hemoglobin. What do you think?

Red wine can provide some iron, but it's not a reliable or significant source to increase hemoglobin. If your hemoglobin is very low, it's important to focus on iron-rich foods, supplements, and follow up with your doctor to find the underlying cause.

View allI'm really concerned because I've been diagnosed with DVT in my left leg and my homocysteine level is 60.2. Does the high level of homocysteine directly cause the DVT? What should I be doing to manage this situation?
Elevated homocysteine levels can be a risk factor for developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). To help lower your homocysteine levels and reduce the risk of DVT, you can take folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 supplements. I recommend taking Tab Folvite 5mg once daily, Tab Pyridoxine 50mg once daily, and Tab Nurokind Plus once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I've been struggling with low hemoglobin levels for the past year, but I can't pinpoint what's causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really worried because my monocytes are still absent in my latest CBC results, just like last summer. The only weird thing in the test is that there's no monocytes. My report shows Neutrophils at 50, Lymphocytes at 49, Monocytes at 0, and Eosinophils at 1. Should I be concerned about monocytes being zero? It's making me quite anxious. What could this mean?
The normal values of monocyte count in the body can range from 0 - 10% of the total number of WBC in your body. Therefore, a monocyte count of 0 is still considered normal and is not a cause for concern.
