Low Hemoglobin

Low Hemoglobin

I jogged for 3 miles before giving blood. My hemoglobin level was lower than it had been before when giving blood. Could jogging before giving blood cause this lower reading in my hemoglobin?

Hi,

During exercise the oxygen consumption of the body rises. There is increased displacement of oxygen from the hemoglobin. The level of hemoglobin actually rises during exercise so that more oxygen is made available to the exercising muscles.
A low hemoglobin after exercise is a little unusual.
