Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Normal hb for male is 13 to 16 gm/dl and 12.5 to 14gm/dl.Your Hb may be low. Minimum hb for blood donation is 12.5gm/ dl. Your hb may be below that so you are rejected. Just go for complete blood count with rbc parameters once. Most commonly due to iron deficiency. Just test for that. 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.
