Hb of 9.8 indicates anemia, possibly nutritional. Yellowish skin may suggest bilirubin elevation or B12 deficiency. Weight loss and low Hb requires urgent nutritional and metabolic workup. Start with iron, B12, and folate-rich diet.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Ferritin Test Test

When does regular iron deficiency become anemia?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Two years ago I had a crawling sensation in my throat and I thought it was a worm. I also felt it in my stomach. I consulted an MD doctor and he said it was only gas in my stomach. He took my blood samples and the report showed very low haemoglobin even though I had a balanced diet. He prescribed me some vitamins. After a few weeks I started feeling the same again. Sometimes it is normal but while sleeping I start to feel the same crawling sensation in my throat and stomach.
