  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I can appreciate you feeling worried about your high haemoglobin levels especially when you've a history of low iron and anaemia.

    Haemoglobin levels can rise for a variety of reasons, some of which are not serious. But it is only your GP practice who can tell you more as they have all your medical details. You mention that you were told a nurse would call you to go everything and this hasn't happened yet. I would ring them back and explain that you need clarification about what this all means for you.

    I hope you hear from them soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Celene
