Low hemoglobin (Hb) levels can make you feel tired, weak, or short of breath — and you might not even realize it.

Common causes include:

  1. Nutritional deficiencies (iron, B12, folic acid)
  2. Chronic illnesses (kidney disease, infections)
  3. Blood loss (heavy periods, ulcers)
  4. Bone marrow disorders

What you can do:

  1. Eat iron-rich foods like spinach, beetroot, jaggery, and lentils.
  2. Get your CBC test done if you feel constantly tired.
  3. Avoid self-medicating with iron tablets — get medical advice first.
  4. Persistent low Hb needs proper evaluation. 
  5. Early diagnosis can prevent complications.
  6. Stay alert. Stay healthy
