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?

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.

View allI'm really concerned about my dad's D-Dimer levels. They were supposed to stay below 500, but now they've shot up to 900. He was in quarantine for about 25 days and recently discharged from the hospital, but this rise in D-Dimer really worries me. Some doctors say it's normal post-COVID, while others say it's not. He's feeling okay, with no cold, cough, or other COVID symptoms now. What can be done to keep these levels in check? I'm anxious about how to handle this situation.
Elevated D-Dimer levels post-COVID-19 can be concerning. To help control this, your dad can be prescribed anticoagulant medication. I recommend he takes Apixaban (Eliquis) 5mg twice daily. This medication will help prevent blood clots and keep the D-Dimer levels in check. It is important to follow up with his healthcare provider for regular monitoring and adjustment of the dosage as needed.

I'm 80 and recently started having chest pain, so I went to the hospital. The doctor had me take a blood test, and it turns out I have polycythemia vera. They've been taking my blood twice a week to keep it thin, but now I'm feeling really exhausted, and it's hard to manage. Can you suggest what I should do?
