Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If your hemoglobin is below 12.5 you can not donate blood. You should consult your doctor and go for complete blood count and peripherals smear examination. Then take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
