I am male 67 years old. My Heamoglobin is 124 g/l and my haematocrit is 0.38. I have had this level for years. I have had the bone marrow tested - nothing nasty. I dont smoke and the rest of my bloods are fine. My doctor has no suggestions. My thoughts are that slight anaemia slows you down. Whilst I am not agressively fighting the onset of old age I exercise regularly and would like to give myself every opportunity to lead a well existence for many years yet.What should i do
