In males, a healthy hemoglobin level is between 13.2 and 16.6 grams per deciliter of blood (g/dL). In females, a hemoglobin count of between 11.6 and 15 g/dL is considered normal and healthy. 17.4 is slightly on the higher side you must consult a doctor specially if you are feeling tired and bruising easily.
