Drop In Hemoglobin, Nausea, Lightheaded, Fatigue. What Could Be Done?

I have a drop in hemoglobin from 14 to 9 in less than 1 year. So far tests have shown no bleeding. In not sure where to go because I'm told it's not low enough to cause my symptoms. I'm nauseous, light headed, fatigued, I just don't feel right. I've had pounding hear eats eats and also PACs. I'm feeling so bad at the moment I want to go to ER. They will just tell me it's nothing serious and go see my family DR. Any advice?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
This is right that hemoglobin level is low 9 gm/ dL .
The cause of concern is that it came down from 14 to 9 gm / dL .
May be due to any disease in the stomach as you are complaining that there are nausea, light headed, fatigue, but remember that all these symptoms may be due to low hemoglobin level.
Gastric disorder,
Worm infestation,
Intestinal disorder,
All these above mentioned may be a cause of lowering hemoglobin.
Get in blood for C B C, E S R , blood dyscrasia .
Consult a hematologist and get his opinion.
Stool & urine examination play an important role.
