Well it is certainly not good! Normal hemoglobin values range from 12-16 for females and from 14-18 for males. My husband just had a gastrointestinal bleed, and when his hemoglobin level dipped below 9, they transfused him. His original level upon admittance was 5.8, and he had 8 units of blood before they could get him up above the "9" that they required before they would let him go home. So...you need some iron! I'd def. call the doc about this one...not anything to play around with.

If the blood counts have slowly decreased over a long time a person may not feel badly with the hemoglobin this low. For most people this would be very dangerous.

No. This does represent anemia, however, and weakness and fatigue are likely at this level. Below a hemoglobin of 8.0 is dangerous, and at these levels blood transfusions are often required.
