Fluctuating Hemoglobin Levels. Need For Concern?
My hemoglobin has been fluctuating the last year. Readings have been 167, 145, 169 and the last 162. Should I be concerned? I know that the readings should be between 120 and 155. I am 71 yrs. old and am in good health having had a chest x-ray , a body scan and a electric cardiogram in the last year - all being OK. Thanks.

Hi, you are 72 years old, and physically fit as your judgement. Then why did you get the test done, so repeatedly. After all it is a machine, and there is always a possibility of error.
I advise you to get the tests done only when health needs them. Take nourishing and healthy food, and live happily. Thank you.
