Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion it must be again drop in the haemoglobin, that causes you weak feeling.

Haemoglobin is essential to o transport oxygen to different organs of the body. If you have anemia haemoglobin stops transferring to various organs of the body.

HB in the range of five is the likely cause of such a reaction.

I think you should check your haemoglobin level in the blood again. If again haemoglobin has gone down then you must require compulsory blood transfusion.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
