Hi welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Yes certainly vigorous exercise will help to lower blood hemoglobin levels by causing lysis of the blood cells and muscle cells resulting in sudden drop of hemoglobin levels causing urine loss of Hemoglobin.Also blood donation can worsen the picture in your case.Excessive weight loss can also be the presenting feature of activity.I advise you to stop vigorous exercise regime.Drink plenty of fluids to wash toxic metabolites.External iron supplementation in the for of blood transfusion is very much required in your case.Consult your Nephrologist for further expert management.Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.
