I've been dealing with some discomfort since I had an IV put in during my recent hospital visit. There's a pretty bad bruise and the area has been painful for about a week now. I'm really starting to get worried about it. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it normal for this to happen?

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing pain and bruising after the IV. It's normal to feel some discomfort, but if it's been a week and you're still in pain or notice increased swelling, redness, or warmth around the area, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any complications.

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.
