Good afternoon guys,
I have been flying since 2017 and got my Initial Class 1 Medical in 2016. I have always had low hemoglobin (around 13) and my hematocrit levels are situated in the 38-40 % spam. Last year when I renewed my medical license the doctor noticed that I had low hemoglobin and made me feel pretty uncomfortable saying that my levels were a bit short of the red line- Anyway she passed me and gave me my license and next month im going there again which has made me increasingly nervous and not knowing what to expect. I have always had low hemobglobin and she was the first doctor of the 3 that I had seen that raised the issue, not even the first AME that saw me in the inital Class 1 raised any questions. There is no way I can increase my hemoglobin since I have always had it like that and eventhough my numbers are in, what i think. the "reasonable line" I feel a bit stressed on what to expect.
Best Regards and looking forward to hearing your opinion or advices!
