Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query. With hemoglobin levels so low you will have some muscles ache and weakness. Also with tuberculosis it can be more. I would suggest you to get blood transfusion if possible and also discuss the option of blood transfusion with your treating doctor. You can take multivitamin supplements and tab. Dolo for pain relief.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further if any.
