I find that sudden Hb drop interesting. That’s what happens to me.

I’ll slowly drop my Hb over a few weeks then I’ll drop 20 or more in the next few days to a week. Last week I was 97 and then 6 days later I was 76 and I turned a yellowy white colour. Because the count drops fast I don’t have time to compensate and I get really dizzy and breathless and my heart misses beats and my blood pressure drops to the 70s and 80s. I average two units of blood every 3-4 weeks and this raises my count to about 105 (I’m only a short, thin person).
