How To Increase Hemoglobin Level?

Recently I have started a weight training and over all fitness program. I have lost 8lbs the past two weeks and went to give blood and my Hb was a 12.0. I was wondering if beginning this new regime had something to do with the low hemoglobin and what I could do to counteract it. I'm 36 5'11" 280.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your hemoglobin level is slightly low.
You should go for complete blood count, rbc indices and peripheral smear examination. Then you should take treatment according to your diagnosis. If ypu have macrocytic anemia then take iron supplements and if macrocytic anemia then take vit b12 supplements.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
