Discuss with a GP (not a nurse) is my advice.

Best to check with your gp.

I would ask your GP for an opinion first. Why has his Hb dropped. If you try and increase it yourself you will never know. It could be due to a problem that needs addressing.

My DH, 73, went to donate blood the other day. He is a regular donor.

He was not able to donate as his hb was too low. Sent away with a leaflet telling him about improvements to his diet, which is good anyway. Cannot give for a year.

I was quite shocked, as he has always been fine before, he donates four times a year.

But what if he were not a blood donor? He would have no idea, as he seems fit and well.

I am going to serve more iron rich foods for a while, then send him to GP for a blood test.
