[|Human|] Hi my mam suffered from a burst aneurism which then led to her suffering a stroke in March of this year, She is currently undergoing rehab in The National Rehab Hospital, today her nurses said her haemoglobin count is low and they will investigate it tomorrow when her bowel opens tomorrow. I m just wondering is this anything to be concerned about??
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. There is no need to worry. Low hemoglobin indicates anemia and needs evaluation to find out the cause. Anemia can occur due to less intake of iron containing foods or due to loss of blood (in stools, urine, etc.). A proper evaluation can establish the cause. Treatment is initially with iron supplements and if anemia is severe, blood transfusion may be required. I hope it helps. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
