Why Does My Haemoglobin Drop Low And Needs A Transfusion?

My doctor suspects that i may have AVM - have had two unites of blood every two months for the last six months - i have had a endoscope, video capsule and coloscoppy, everythng is okay - also had a GI bleed a few weeks ago. Have a n appt. at Tufts next week for a second opinion - I feel fine, no aches ,no pains, nothing, but every couple of months I become tired, etc. my hemoglobin(sp) drops to 26...blood transfusion brings it up to 34... interesting, isn t it? What do you think?

Hi,Welcome to health care magic forum.
It appears that you must be having the hook worm infestation.In tropics it is the main reason for anemia.
There may be a relapsing bleeding peptic ulcer, seen periodically, where the symptoms may be the black tarry stools.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have blood, good health and resistance against the infections and to have blood supply regularly.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
