Hi. My hemoglobin has been around 12 all my life. Now I m a 42 years old male and last week my hemoglobin was at 10.6. I m planning to take a tour to Machu Picchu (2450m) and stay at Cusco (3400m). Should I be worried about that trip? Anything that I can before or during the trip? Or should I cancel the trip at all? Thanks
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your hemoglobin is slightly low. But you should take care of that.  Before going on trip you should go for investigation. Complete blood count, peripheral smear examination and ultrasound abdomen are needed.  Then start treatment accordingly and if no any major issue then you can continue with your trip.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
