Are The Hemoglobin Levels Of 5 Be Harmful?
Hi, I was told by my doctor last week that i have a Haemoglobin level of 5. I am 27 years old, female, quite sporty and otherwise healthy. He has prescribed iron tablets which I am now taking but having read on the internet, this level looks like it could be quite dangerous. Should I stop going to gym and rest more until my iron levels are u?

Hai,
normal level of hemoglobin for women 12 -16 g/dl.
as your quoted hemoglobin level is 5.it is very low valve and it is really a alarming sign for blood transfusion.
as you didn't feel any discomfort like fatigue,breathlessness, it seems to be your valve may be wrong.
kindly re check your hemoglobin level.
thank you
stay healthy
