What Is the Normal HB Range, and What Happens If It’s Too High or Low? - #15749

I recently had a routine blood test, and my doctor mentioned that my HB (Hemoglobin) level was slightly outside the normal range. I realized I don’t fully understand what this means, so now I’m wondering—what is the normal HB range, and what are the health implications if it’s too high or too low? From what I understand, hemoglobin (HB) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. But what happens if HB levels drop too low? Does it always indicate anemia, or can other conditions like iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, or chronic diseases also cause low HB? I also read that high HB levels might indicate dehydration, lung disease, or even heart problems. What symptoms should I watch out for if my HB is too high or too low? Are there specific signs like fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath that might suggest an issue? Since I prefer natural approaches, I looked into Ayurveda’s perspective on maintaining healthy HB levels. Are there Ayurvedic remedies, dietary changes, or herbal supplements that can help balance HB levels naturally? I found that pomegranate, beetroot, Ashwagandha, and jaggery are commonly recommended—do these actually help improve hemoglobin levels? For those who have had abnormal HB levels, what was the cause in your case? Did diet changes, supplements, or Ayurvedic treatments help regulate your HB levels? I’d love to hear real experiences on maintaining optimal hemoglobin levels naturally.
