What Are The Normal Hemoglobin Levels In A Healthy Person?

How low can your hemiglobin get before you die? Or more so, in the medical journals and what you learned in school, how low do they say it can get before death?I m asking because I suffered a major internal bleed that nearly killed me, my hemiglobin at the lowest was 2.3, I was on life support and they didnt really think I had any chance or survival, I was in another state with my mom and my dad took the next flight out to get there, and say what they thought might be there last goodbyes. Everyone in the medical profession I ve told what happen, or they ve read it in my charts tell me they can t believe I could of survived that and I ve been told multiple times I didnt even know that was possible So with your typical healthy person, what is the lowest the hemiglobin a person can have before death?
