I'm looking at my blood report, and I see that my hemoglobin is at 11.4, and my ESR levels are elevated. I'm a bit concerned and wondering what this might mean. Could this be a sign of an infection or something else?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
a haemoglobin level of 11.4 is nothing to worry about. It is common for Indian women to have low haemoglobin. You can take tablet prosfer plus for 1 month, daily one tablet after food. Also raised esr can be seen even in normal individuals. It is better you are clinically examined once for signs of any anemia or other diseases. So kindly consult ageneral physician for further evaluation.

My wife is 26 and we're planning on having kids soon, but her haemoglobin level is pretty low. It went from 7.9 last month to 8.7 now. She's already eating lentils, beans, an apple, milk, groundnuts, and spinach juice every day. Plus, she's on a routine diet of chapatis with veg curry and rice. Do you think her current diet is enough to boost her haemoglobin levels? How long does it usually take to get back to a normal level? Should we consider some injections if diet alone isn't improving things fast enough?
