Hello and welcome to HCM,
The bleeding ulcer is the most probable cause of anemia or low hemoglobin.
Chronic bleeding leads to iron deficiency anemia most commonly.
Thus a peripheral blood smear examination is required to know the type of anemia.
Iron supplements will be required to correct the anemia.
An upper gastrointestinal examination by an endoscopy will also be required to assess the ulcer and protective treatment is required to allow the ulcer to heal.
You need to consult your gastroenterologist for management of the ulcer.

Thanks and take care
