HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
A hemoglobin of 7.5 or 8.2 would be considered anemia. It should be at least 12 for a female though some labs may have a slightly lower limit.
It can be due to the heavy period that you are having. An ultrasound may be needed to find the source of the periods, it may be due to fibroids.
Medication to help with the periods and iron replacement , may be needed as well.
I hope this helps
