Hi, You have very low Hb level. Any thing can happen with this hemoglobin level. Even congestive cardiac failure may occure. So go to the hospital urgentely and go for blood transfusion. Then go for complete blood count, peripheral smear examination and ultrasound abdomen to search for the cause of severe anemia. If needed go for Serum iron or vit B12 level. Then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answerd your question. If you have doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
