Hi, I Am A 51 Year Old Female And Just

Hi,

I am a 51 year old female and just found out I have iron deficiency anemia. My hemoglobin was 5.8. I declined a blood transfusion due to risks but have started on iron supplements. I have an appt with my OB/GYN regarding my heavy periods which is likely the cause.

I am supposed to travel on a flight in 2 1/2 weeks. Is it safe with a hemoglobin level of 5.8?
