Thank you, Marlene.
I haven't had a CBC run since May, but find it hard to believe that my counts are much lower than what I saw in May which is why I'm confused why I'm having fainting spells. I agree that a hemoglobin of 11 shouldn't be causing this. I do have blackouts from getting up too fast or standing but this is different. One of these spells happened while simply sitting reading a book. I think I may be seeing something totally unrelated to my previous AA issues. I don't think it's menopause just yet. I'm definitely going to be mentioning it to my dr on my next visit. I'm really wondering if I'm having panic attacks, although I'm not quite sure what's so panicky about sitting quietly reading a book! Lol!
