Symptoms of low hemoglobin level in your wife include shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, and others. The recommended iron and vitamin tablet is commonly used to boost hemoglobin levels. She needs to follow the recommended course and nutritional advice. If symptoms persist or worsen, the patient should seek advice from a physician for further assessment. On other occasions, further evaluation and specialized care may require additional test or a consultation with a hematologist. It is important to monitor hemoglobin levels regularly as a way of tracking improvement.

Hello kindly get these test iron profile and vit b12 and serum folate and peripheral level. Take an iron-rich diet. You can follow up with reports with your nearby General Physician.
