Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that yes such a problems are common with low haemoglobin. I advice you to start the injectable iron therapy to boost up your haemoglobin. In addition to also adviced to take vitamin B 12 and folic acid treatment.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
