Suggest Treatment For Low Hemoglbin And Low HDL Levels
my blood level read 10.6 on 1/10/12. My Doctor would like it to read 12. I am a 80 year old woman and was wondering if eating liver and spinach will help to get my level back to where it should be.. My platlets, B12, potassium levels are normal. I do take BP medications a total of 45mg daily and thyroid medication 0.025 each day. My cholestrol is 143, LDL's are fine, however my HDL's are low at 28. If you could give me advice as to what I could do to improve my situation I would appreciate it.
I am a very active 80 year old and am able to move around without any trouble. I will wait for your reply. Thank you.
