Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per my clinical experience, the current presentation suggests the current hemoglobin level of 11.6 is far good enough for general health. I recommend to evaluate the cause of underlying lethargy and sleepiness, which should not be there after correction of anemia if the low hemoglobin was the sole cause of the same.
Wish this information will help you. Do feel free to ask further doubts.
