When do you need transfusion?

I have so many questions- and currently a Dr on vacation...
What is the usual cut off for needing a transfusion? My Hgb is 10.9 currently. I talked to the nurse yesterday as I haven't gotten any good information from the Dr. She said the Dr thinks you have a mild case and shouldn't worry. I am still worried! Does anyone get chest pain with mild anemia? Is this normal?
The pain might be an ulcer brewing as I am so anxious. I cry all the time and feel so desperate. If anyone has any advice for me I have to wait until Monday to talk to a Dr. Have my second opinion at Mayo clinic on Monday. How does anyone know what to worry about and what is just a symptom of anemia?
