Anaemia

Hi all. Getting in contact with my mw but feel shocking. I'm thinking anaemia as I get out of breath from sitting down or standing up. Lethargic (have the awesome combination of insomnia though!!). A couple of heart palpitations etc...

But I had bloods done 10 weeks ago and my haemoglobin was way up at 127!!! About 8 weeks before that, it was sky high at 137! How likely is it to have crashed or n the last 10 weeks?

I went down to 73 after I had my daughter and didn't have any anaemia symptoms. Was at about 94 during pregnancy with her when I didn't feel great though...

Looking for stories of haemoglobin levels a few weeks apart. It's unlikely I've dropped below 100 from 127 in 10 weeks, I'd think!!

I'm exactly the same! Everything was great at 12w bloods (I'm in Spain, don't know what dates your tests are), now 18w and same symptoms as you - exhaustion, breathlessness, palpitations. Waiting for a new appointment for more tests. Will let you know...
