So how do you know if you have anemia?  What are the symptoms?


@CrazyB I feel like that at times as well.  My hands are cold  often...even in the summer when it's hot...don't know why.

Anemia when you are low in red blood cells.  Sometimes you may feel tired, weak to be exact.  I was once anemic.  Had to take iron pills that doctor gave me.  I had iron deficiency.  Lots of green vegetables (spinach), liver, red kidney beans, fish and other foods that is high in iron.  In my case it wasn’t serious.  However I hated the pills that doctor gave me.  They were too strong and they hurt my stomach, I had to take them with food.     Some people even go pale (skin color wise).  Hard to concentrate and tiredness affects your work routine.  You feel like  ...blaaahhh -  like good for nothing.  Like your energy is drained out of you.  


Hope it helps

I have anemia ... but I don't have the tired symptoms ... actually I wouldn't know I had it until my doctor told me but I haven't been good at taking care of it ...


Now that you mention it I should take iron pills ... the thing is I don't like taking pills

Right now, nop, I stopped the pills years ago, because it used affect his stomach, and he used to get sick, I treat him differently, just with the naturals stuff, if you have anemia, eat a lot of fish, green leafs, liver, (I know you might not like it, but it is better then just taking the pills alone)

Do you think you have anemia ?


The best thing to do is go to see an "ematologo" and have some test runs. Many pple think they have it but it turns out to be something alse or just "fatigue"

Anemia or anaemia (see spelling differences), which literally means "without blood," is a deficiency of red blood cells and/or hemoglobin. This results in a reduced ability of blood to transfer oxygen to the tissues, and this causes hypoxia; since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences. Hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein in the red blood cells) has to be present to ensure adequate oxygenation of all body tissues and organs.

The three main classes of anemia include excessive blood loss (acutely such as a hemorrhage or chronically through low-volume loss), excessive red blood cell destruction (hemolysis) or deficient red blood cell production. In menstruating women, dietary iron deficiency is a common cause of deficient red blood cell production.

Anemia is the most common disorder of the blood. There are several kinds of anemia, produced by a variety of underlying causes. Anemia can be classified in a variety of ways, based on the morphology of RBCs, underlying etiologic mechanisms, discernible clinical spectra, to mention a few.

Different clinicians approach anemia in different ways; two major approaches of classifying anemias include the "kinetic" approach which involves evaluating production, destruction and loss, and the "morphologic" approach which groups anemia by red blood cell size. (Schier) The morphologic approach uses a quickly available and cheap lab test as its starting point (the MCV--see below). On the other hand, focusing early on the question of production (e.g., via the reticulocyte count) may allow the clinician to more rapidly expose cases where multiple causes of anemia may coexist. Regardless of one's philosophy about the classification of anemia, however, methodical clinical evaluation should yield equally good results.


Signs and symptoms

Anemia goes undetected in many people, and symptoms can be vague. Most commonly, people with anemia report a feeling of weakness or fatigue. People with more severe anemia sometimes report shortness of breath. Very severe anemia prompts the body to compensate by markedly increasing cardiac output, leading to palpitations and sweatiness; this process can lead to heart failure in elderly people.

Pallor (pale skin and mucosal linings) is only notable in cases of severe anemia, and is therefore not a reliable sign.

Well my son had it, when he was younger, you really have to be carefull, doctors usually give you those ironpills, but the truth is better if you just eat the right stuff, like a lot of fish, natural juices, the green stuff like watercress, is this green leaf, and you can blend it with your mash potatoes, or put in in you soup, eat a lot of vegetables.
