My mom's hemoglobin is at 5.9. Is that critical? Should we think about admitting her to the hospital today, or is it safe to wait until Monday? I'm really worried and unsure what to do.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A hemoglobin level of 5.9 is quite low and could be critical, especially if your mother is showing symptoms like weakness, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It's important to seek immediate medical attention, ideally today, to avoid complications, as this may require urgent intervention.

View allMy PT level is 19.3 and I'm a bit worried is this something serious that needs attention or could it improve as I get older? Also, would it be safe to go through surgery with levels this high?
A PT of 19.3 is high and could delay surgery. It may point to liver issues or vitamin K deficiency. Needs further evaluation and correction before any operation.

I've been having some pretty bad allergy symptoms lately, and while they seemed to calm down after a few days, I'm worried because my blood work showed high levels of mpv at 13.2, pdw at 19, and plcr at 51. Plus, these red boils are popping up all over my body and then disappearing. It's really unsettling. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
