Greetings Just going through your brief history, I understand how you must be feeling about low Haemoglobin. Low haemoglobin is not a good feeling, You must be feeling tired all the time with lethargy. When we get to know that you u have Anaemia (low Haemoglobin) we would like to know what kind of Anaemia it is (there are different kinds of anaemias) and treat it soon. To find out which kind of Anaemia it is, doctors may ask for few tests. Which may include 1. Complete Haemogram 2. LFT 3. Iron Profile 4. Vit B 12 (fasting sample) 5. Urine Routine 6. Stool Routine with Occult Blood (3 constitutive samples) 7. Ultrasound Abdomen and Pelvis 8. Haemoglobin Electrophoresis Hb Electrophoresis is a test which shows different types of Hb, its size and shape. I understand what you must be going through, all of these will relieve an answer to your low haemoglobin problem. Earlier you do this the sooner your doctor can treat you. All the best
