Hi, dear.

I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern. You have anemia. Most common cause of anemia in adult male is chronic blood loss. You should search for any gastrointestinal tract bleeding. You can go for ultrasound abdomen. Search for the cause and take treatment accordingly.

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.
