Brief Answer:
Another 2-3g% with breathing improvement.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Normal hemoglobin percentage needs to improve to 13-14g%.
2. Addition to anemia, lung function is also important in improvement of breathing.
3. Improved hemoglobin along with breathing exercises will help in reducing breathlessness and stamina.

Another 2-3g% should help. Complete test for bleeding evaluation. Continue with iron medication.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries. Happy to help again.
