my 66 yr old mother in law has been feeling fatigued. she went for tests today and went home after that. she just received a call telling my wife to get her to the hospital for a blood transfusion. they said her hemoglobin level was 5. they told my wife it could be serious but didnt say why.
Hi.yes low he level is dangerous. Hb 5 gm/DL is very low for any age. much life-threatening complications occur in this case. She may go in to congestive cardiac failure. Or many other complications can occur. You need immediate blood transfusion. And then go for further investigation to search the cause of that. And then take treatment accordingly.
