How Anemia Is Diagnosed ?

I have anemia . I am 57 yrs old, 5.315 ft, 103.6 pounds. HGB 11.5g/dl, RBC 4.32 M/uL, HCT 35.6%, RDW 15.4%. PLT normal 222 K/uL. I also had hepathitis C, discovered 7 yrs ago. I only take FORTEC to reduce liver enzymes. I feel weak, sometimes tired, light head, no diziness, no chest pain , normal heartbeat (69 /mn). Please advise medication ( brand names ) to cure my anemia. Thank you very much.
