How Can Low Hemoglobin Levels Be Treated?

Hello. Recently I was hospitalized for anemia due to a bleeding ulcer at the duodenum. When released, my hemoglobin was above 8 but I have since continued to have fatigue, shortness of breath, and some dizziness. My therapist ordered a CBC and my hemoglobin level is at 7.9. I m trying to get into see my primary care physician, but I m wondering if I should go to a urgent care.

Hb at 8 is also quite low. The normal ranges are 13-15 women and 15-17 men. You need to take haematinics containing iron folic acid and vitamin b12 along with a treatment of your gastrointestinal blood loss if it is still causing blood loss.
