I had a blood test last week and GP tells me my haemoglobin levels are low (think it's Haemoglobin).. I have around 9.8 and he says the lowest in acceptable range is around 11. I have to have another blood test now.
Thing is my levels appear to have been around 9.8 for around 6 years! Every blood test I have had - around 5 since 2006 have given me the same indication. Doc said I could just be at the low end of the normal range but wants to have a further look. I can't imagine it's serious if I have been like this since 2006 and had no other symptoms. Well some tiredness etc which is explained I guess by the results of this test.
What will they be looking for? Should I be worried? I am a vegetarian, could this be significant?
