How Gianni Salinas treated low hemoglobin?

 Note - This article is written by one of our patients about their experiences with low hemoglobin. 

I also want to talk about my experience dealing with low haemoglobin levels. I was shocked, especially considering how rigorously I had yearly blood tests. But I was proactive in managing my low haemoglobin levels and getting better.

I made it a practise to undergo frequent blood tests since I value my health. The results this year, though, surprised me. I was given a haemoglobin reading of 11.2 grammes per deciliter (g/dL), which was below the recommended limit.

Naturally, I was worried and interested in the potential reasons for my low haemoglobin. I made the choice to find a solution rather than wallow in the issue.

My initial action was to seek medical guidance. I set up a consultation with my doctor to go through the test findings and get more information about the underlying causes of my low haemoglobin levels.

My doctor discussed the critical function of haemoglobin in the movement of oxygen throughout the body during the visit. We looked into various causes that could have influenced my condition.

Diet became a big topic of discussion. My doctor emphasised the significance of eating foods high in iron, folate, and vitamin B12 because these nutrients are all necessary for maintaining good haemoglobin levels. I increased the amount of lean meats, poultry, shellfish, beans, and dark leafy greens in my diet. I changed my diet to include fortified cereals, eggs, dairy goods, and specific fruits and vegetables in order to enhance my intake of folate and vitamin B12.

Additionally, I started taking supplements to support my vitamin levels. I started taking supplements for iron, folate, and vitamin B12 after learning that they should support a healthy diet rather than replace it.

My doctor emphasised the need of general lifestyle adjustments in addition to food improvements. The best way to increase blood circulation and general wellbeing was through regular exercise. I made yoga, strength training, and a range of aerobic workouts a part of my weekly programme.

Stress management developed into yet another crucial component of my path. I understood that overstress could have a detrimental effect on my general health, especially my haemoglobin levels. I placed a high priority on taking care of myself and did things like deep breathing exercises, meditation, and spending time with loved ones.

The importance of getting enough sleep, which has a good effect on haemoglobin levels, and getting enough rest were also given top priority.

I kept in touch with my doctor on a frequent basis during my adventure. We were able to keep track of my development, make any necessary corrections, and address any worries through follow-up appointments. It was quite helpful to have expert direction and assistance throughout the process.

I started to notice good changes in my energy levels as time went on. I eventually felt less constantly exhausted, and I started to feel more energetic. It was evidence of how well the adjustments I had made worked.

One year later, when I had my routine blood test, I was looking forward to the outcomes. My haemoglobin level had increased to a healthy 13.5 g/dL, much to my joy. I felt a sense of success and validation for the work I had put into controlling my low haemoglobin levels at that point.

I still put my health first today and keep up the routines I developed on this journey. I maintain contact with my healthcare practitioner, make thoughtful dietary decisions, exercise frequently, and efficiently handle stress.

I learned the value of being proactive about my health and not taking anything for granted from my experience with low haemoglobin levels. It gave me the ability to change for the better and, when required, seek out expert advice. I am thankful for this experience because it has made me a stronger, more resilient person who is dedicated to preserving her health and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
