Question Posted Wednesday October 11 2006, 4:58 pm
First off, I'm very sick. I've had stomach problems for 7 months. Today, I almost passed out many times. I went to the doctor and it turns out that my hemoglobin levels are down from 14 to 12.3. But my question.. When I got my finger pricked at the doctor, I bled everywhere and it was hard to stop it. Now, my finger is black where it was pricked and it hurts really bad. It's weird. Could it have something to do with my hemoglobin level being down, or should I be worried about that too?

Its absolutely horrible, feel better SOON.
Well I'm not sure about your hemoglobin level, I dont know much about that at all.
But the blood thing, you could have to do with it, I know a girl who has a blood problem, that she has to be really careful with, if she cuts her self or trips and starts bleeding, its hard to stop because her blood is so thin, so it wont clot, and she also bruises extreamley easily because it. I cant recall the name, but thats something you should bring up to the doctor if you didnt already. Feel better!

Well the black spot is probably just a bruise, but dont worry. As long as the doctor knows, Im sure you'll be fine. If there was something TOTALLY wrong, then the doctor would have told you...
No need to be worried. Im sure the doctor will take care of it.
You'll be fine. Dont worry about it. Relax on the couch, watch movies, and eat some chocolate. Chocolate always makes people happy. :)
somehow chocolate makes you a little hyper, but at the same time, it calms you down. It always helps me when Im stressed, or when Im worried about something. [ MorganBerry's advice column | Ask MorganBerry A Question ]

I have no diagnosis for you, but if you try to stay calm, get plenty of rest, eat sensibly, no fizzies or burgers etc, that may help you feel a little better whilst you are waiting for the results to come back. Put an ice pack on your finger, that may help to ease the pain, it quite possibly is all tied in with the haemagloblin levels. I expect the doctor will get back to as quickly as he can and start treating you.
Hope that helps and feel better soon. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]
