Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You have stent in your heart.  But low hemoglobin is not related with your stent insertion.  You may have some bleeding from gastrointestinal tract or iron deficiency or vitamin B12 deficiency. You should go for occult stool blood test, peripheral smear examination and anemia profile. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should 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.
