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 allJust got my blood test results back and noticed my PDW is 19, but the report says it should be between 9.6 and 15.2. What does this mean for me? I'm not sure what steps I should take next, and it's making me a bit anxious. Can you help me understand what I can do about it?
An elevated PDW (Platelet Distribution Width) may indicate platelet abnormalities or certain medical conditions. In this case, it is important to further investigate the underlying cause. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as Aspirin or Clopidogrel to help regulate platelet function. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by your healthcare provider based on the specific diagnosis.

I'm a bit confused and worried about what's the best way to address this. Could you suggest some alternative treatments or advice on improving my iron levels naturally?
