so last august I have a finger prick test that showed my hemoglobin was 12.8 which is slightly low and my doctor just said to eat more iron. then a few months ago I got another complete blood test that showed my hemoglobin was a normal 14.9. if it was something bad would it go back to normal. I am a 19 year old male. please help I dont have pallor or anything
Many things can contribute to low hemoglobin count. If you've had more iron intake and it's back to normal now, then I'd say you're ok. Things get worse if there's any underlying issue still, not better.
Hi Trevor, in answer to you question: although, in all honesty I don't know much about it. But what I do sense is that not enough iron in your body affects your hemoglobin level. You took more iron and now, its back to normal. I wouldn't worry, its all good! Donna xxx
