Yes, you can be anemic if your heamoglobin levels are less than 12 in women and 13 in men.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a Apollo Cancer Checkup Ultra Male Test or Take a MATERNAL SERUM SCREENING - DOUBLE MARKER (FIRST TRIMESTER) FMF APPROVED Test

My Vitamin B12 is 163, which is below the normal range. I am experiencing tingling, numbness, weakness, shortness of breath, fatigue, tiredness, and body pain. I have taken Vitcofol 6, 2 ml injections over the last 10 days. My questions are: Which tests can I do to check iron levels, as I suspect low iron may be causing low hemoglobin? How can I alleviate these symptoms, and how many more B12 injections might I need, considering I am on PPI for GERD, which caused these issues? I may need to continue PPI for a few more months as GERD is almost resolved. I would also like tips to increase my hemoglobin and RBC levels.
