My haemoglobin level came back as 10.7 and I'm 29 years old. What's the normal range for someone like me? If it's considered low, what can I do to bring it back to normal?

View allI'm dealing with anemia and it's been really tough. When I wake up in the morning, my whole body aches and I feel fatigued constantlyIm always in this sleepy state. I experience dizziness, breathlessness, and lower back pain, along with pain on my neck between the shoulders and under my head, almost like cervical issues. I get leg cramps at night, and I've noticed hyperpigmentation on my face, my hair has become thin, and my periods are really light. It's starting to affect my studies. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency anemia. To help improve your condition, I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets. You can take one tablet (325 mg) once a day with a glass of orange juice to enhance absorption. Additionally, try to include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, beans, and dark leafy greens. Make sure to also consume foods high in Vitamin C to aid in iron absorption. Remember to follow up with regular blood tests to monitor your iron levels.

I've been having problems with sleep disorders and noticed my skin's looking pretty pale. My doctor suggested I get a CBC, and while my hemoglobin is usually around 11, it dropped to 7.4 this time. The doctor couldn't believe the CBC report and asked me to redo it. The next morning, it went down to 7 with platelets at 629. I also had an abdomen pelvis ultrasound, but everything came back normal. Now, doctors keep passing me off to someone else. What could be going on?
