Can low hemoglobin level cause chronic fatigue, breathlessness and hair loss?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your attached report is not in the English language (attachment removed to protect patient identity). However, as I understand, hemoglobin and hematocrit values seem to be low.

Low hemoglobin level is called anemia in which oxygenation to the organs can get affected and so weakness and difficultly breathing could be due to that. Hence the cause for low hemoglobin should be ruled out for which you need to investigate with serum ferritin, TIBC (total iron-binding capacity), serum transferrin saturation, and HB electrophoresis.

According to the cause specific treatment is to be done. Iron tablet like Ferrous ascorbate can be prescribed for that. You are having depression problem as well which also can be the cause for such presentation. So revert with the above-suggested reports and repeat CBC after iron tablet intake. You can discuss all these with your treating doctor.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

In anemia, hemoglobin level and red blood cells count both can be low. So in your reports, hemoglobin and RBC both are on the lower side. Hope I have answered your question.
