Yes, if your blood count gets low enough you could die. However, unless you are very unhealthy or bleeding rapidly that is unlikely. You must follow-up closely with your doctor and find out why you have anemia. Anemia is not a disease, but rather a sign of a disease. It could be something as simple as heavy menstrual periods or bleeding from a recent operation, to something more sinister.
Treatment of anemia for people who are otherwise healthy and stable is iron therapy. For sicker people, transfusion and/or drugs like Procrit may be in order.

I would go to a medical website and ask these types of questions. Listen to your doctor, ask him/her these questions as they are trained to help you.....not folks here on Yahoo.
Keep a notepad and write down everything you can think of and call your doctor Monday. Take good care!

I would listen to the doctor. I really doubt there are many on here giving out free advice.
