My haemoglobin count is 12.5 ...... but still my doc insists that iam anemic..... is he right?

Question: i basically feel very weak and iam suffering from severe hair loss..... what could possibly be wrong? coz a person is considered anemic if only the hbc is like less than 11 or 12.....
i have 12.5 but still look pale......

Answers:
12.5 is perfectly normal if you are a female. Sounds like something else may be the problem. Are you taking any new medication, either prescription vs. over the counter? That would be the easy answer and even herbal remedies can cause symptoms as you describe.
How long ago was your hemoglobin drawn. It changes depending on menstrual cycle.

Yeah, go ahead and take the advice of 12 year olds that are bored rather than your doctor.
