Does A Low Hemoglobin Level Have Long Term Effects?

Hi I am from Canada. My question is are there any long term effects of having your hemoglobin levels bottom out to a level of 42 before being transfused. I had pelvic surgery hysterectomy with the knowledge of some blood loss possible. I had all the signs passing out palpating heart bounding pulse,pale ect . I remained like that for 3 days before being transfused. I have been having vertigo with tinnitus x1 drop attack. Wondering if this could have brought this on??

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern. Low hemoglobin for two to three days only have no long term side effects. But if it remains for long time then it has many side effects. It can leads to congestive cardiac failure. So take treatment as soon as possible. Tinitus may be due to some other cause so consult ent surgeon once and take treatment if needed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
