I'm in trouble, Can you help

On Tuesday I had blood work done by my pcp, the next day he called my house and told me he wanted me to go to the emergency room because my blood level was way too low. HGB 7.7, HCT 24.9, when I went to the emergency room they also took blood and were going to admit me and give me a blood transfusion. After awhile the ER doctor decided since this condition has been going on for sometime, she decided to send me home and she called my doctor to see me the following day. Yesterday I had these terrible cramps in my stomach all day long, I tried to eat but it only got worst, I couldn't bear these pain, I was going to go back the the ER but I decided to go to bed instead. My question is , do you think this pain is related to low blood? My doctor, btw, did call the pharmacy and order me some diffent iron meds, he wants to see me in a week (so meds can build up my iron) and he made an appointment for me to see a hemotologist, and gastroenternolgist. I'm so scared now. Can someone tell me how I can build up my blood level in addition to taking my iron med, and what are these severe cramps in my stomach from? Thank you
