Please don't Google for such reasons. The Hb level is near normal and there can be variations also in lab reports. Keep ur diet full of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Add jagery to ur diet as it is a very good source of iron. If you have any other problems kindly visit nearby physician or consult online.
Next Steps
consult online or visit good physician

Don't Google for such symptoms from next time.

Hello. Hb and pcv could be low due to other reasons like nutritional deficiency as well. Did you go for the test urine albumin? If yes what was the result? Also if there’s any blood loss due to trauma or bleeding during defecation due to chronic constipation can also lower hb levels. Also please don’t worry about low hb levels that it is because of cancer and kidney problems. As I have said nutrition is the main cause in India.
Next Steps
Get Lfts n urine albumin test done to rule out other causes.
Health Tips
increasing the intake of iron-rich foods like eggs, spinach, beans, organ rich meats, and seafood.
