What Does My Blood Test Finding Of High Hemoglobin Content Indicate?

The results from my blood test came back and somebody called me from the doctors office and said my hemoglobin test was high at a 6.5 and that I need to control it with diet and exersize. But she didn't say that the doctor wanted to see me again. What does that mean?

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should start taking diet rich in iron.

Your haemoglobin us low, taking iron can improve the haemoglobin. So doctors meaning is that if you eat Diet rich in iron you will be improved soon.

In addition to diet I also suggest you to take iron, folic acid and vitamin B 12 tablet.

Keep continuing on this medication as this takes some time to improve your haemoglobin.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
