Anemia symptoms and treatments - Signs of being anemic

[@nanaeguccimama]

I'm always cold extremely fatigued shortness of breath strange heart beats weakness I just feel so terrible n it's so scary .

[@imashaleyg]

Trust me I felt the same way 3 days ago I was officially diagnosed as anemic.

[@anastasiachanel2110]

P'ashnae Lashae don't get scared the same thing happened to me so I went to the doctor and I did a blood test and all that was from iron!

[@ViperLV05]

[@Melly241000]

another symptom that was not mentioned on here is feeling cold easy a lot of people with anemia are sensitive to the cold

[@hannahblessing1142]

+Melly241000 and excessive bleeding when you are on your period

My kids are saying this too me. I’m very anemic after covid

[@genavievec]

I feel lightheaded randomly throughout the day, I feel really anxious, and short of breath everyday. I've been told it's just anxiety but idk what to do. It's really taking a toll on me :/

[@alexaa1952]

Genavieve C same. And im realy pale. i have all the symptoms

[@genavievec]

***** I did.. I had about every blood test done and physicals and it's anxiety. It's so crazy how you can feel like your physically like dying but it's just anxiety.. I've changed my whole diet and I don't have as much anxiety attacks and feel all weird randomly. If you girls are like me and all the doctor wants to do is give you pills.. dont. Change your eating habits and try and go for a walk and get some exercise in every week :)

[@wavyamar]

I'm a amateur boxer and didn't realize I was anemic until I started asking myself wtf am I getting so fatigued randomly in certain days of training or fights

[@liimajors4976]

Don't trust that whole it's just anxiety. That's what I was told at the E.R for real bad shortness of breath. Went to my primary and she immediately took blood tests, and she found out I was actually severely anemic. I'm on iron pills now 2x day, and my breathing and health is now back to normal.. It was Anemia not anxiety

[@carolinegallano7645]

Genavieve C same feeling here :( dizziness for 3 weeks now feel weak

[@conchiduffy3874]

Anemia solved all my questions , I'd always ask myself why am I always so tired and out of breath by simply going up the stairs!! :-(

[@Altagracia111]

I had the same exact situation. I live on the third floor and each time I go up the stairs I felt like I ran a marathon, my heart would beat so fast. I also slept a lot and when I was awake my muscles would ache and I would feel so tired.

[@conchiduffy3874]

+Yolanda Guillen I'm glad to hear there's more people out there that suffer the same thing like me

[@aleciamarie817]

Me to i go up the stair i get out of break and im only 24 and i dont smoke and in always tired :( idk for sure but might be my iron

[@bethanypol-ot7116]

aw.. me too! i feel like my body was heavy and when i reach the top of the stairs, i pant heavily!

[@redfox-bs4cq]

I love crunching on ice. Can't get enough.

[@jeonnochu6601]

Same, i even did a research about why i love eating ice so much and it says that i might be anemic but i didnt believe it cuz i thought I was only eating it out of habit but when my family including me did a check up, the doctor said im anemic and i finally believe it 😂

[@RoDelCa1]

Me too! I can do that all day long

[@jeonintendo9628]

Jeon Nochu same i always ate ice and i never believed until i got my blood checked

[@theperson6770]

I do too but my teeth get cold and it hurts

[@anna.t._7224]

Uhhh I like crunching on ice too.... this is scaring me

[@crafteecreations343]

I had chest pains, shortness of breath, fatigue, headaches, lack of concentration and memory loss. I went from running a mile every other day to not being able to run a quarter of a mile. I had to give up running altogether. The chest pains had me making frequent trips to the hospital, thinking I had heart issues. I had an exercise stress test, nuclear stress test, an echocardiogram and an angiogram; all of those tests were normal. The echo showed I had pulmonary hypertension secondary to sleep apnea. On a hot day in GA, the rain came in during the evening and there was a slight breeze. I started shaking and said I was cold while others were looking as if I were crazy! Oh, I forgot to add the dizziness and lightheadedness. I was cycling one day and felt the dizziness for a brief second or two, but I wasn't alarmed by it, so I continued riding my bike. Within minutes, I felt I was going to pass out. Sweat started dripping off of me as if someone had poured a bucket of water upon my head. I had to call my daughter to meet me on the bike trail just to get me back to my car. That was the scariest moment! I didn't drive my car for the rest of the day.

[@tia7765]

I'm sorry to hear that. How have you been coping with the anemia?

[@loverosy4842]

Fatigue Chest pain Dizziness Depression Hair loss Breath shortness Headache I had anemia for about over 4 years never really took it seriously, ate my pills for a while then stopped and now I have gym every morning and it's a problem

[@iammeyouareyou5146]

I'm anemic and I can tell whn my iron has drop lowww I get chest pains bad my heart beats feel crazy. I now use organic molasses it's high n iron etc. iron pills keep me constipated so I turned to this it also has a lot of good health benefits hair is one laxative so many to name. But for all my anemic people try molasses. It's nasty but a table spoon n ure coffee u don't taste it or n ure smoothies. Good luck

The same thing am going through that's why it's good for u to talk more while u realize ur not alone thanks much

[@blendedtonesable]

Thanks. I was prescribed iron suppliments, two diffents types in the last 7 months. They caused more problems than helped. Molasses is a good alternative I had forgotten about. Grandmother and her generation always used simple cures.

So glad that your doctor was on top of things! Hopefully you are now an a regimen to help you. Thanks for watching!

[@hannahblessing1142]

I was not experiencing any of these symptoms. I had been ill with a cold for four months over the winter. Then I started exercising, and that jump-started my immune system enough to get rid of the cold. But the exercising made my anemia much worse. I had no idea my iron was so low. I got this period that wouldn't go away, and I had that for about two months. I didn't have enough iron in my system for the period to stop. And you can't lift anything if you are bleeding too much, or near the end of the period. I take a lot of iron right now, with Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps you to absorb the iron.

[@Tatusiek_1]

I'm gonna get a bar of iron and eat it thanks

Was experiencing these symptoms. Went to the hospital and turned out I was anemic. By blood count or hemoglobin level was a 7.1 I was .1 away from needing a blood transfusion. So if anyone is feeling these symptoms don't wait a week like I did get to a hospital!

Holy shit. I think I have aneima... No matter how long I sleep I'm always tired. I'm far more pale than usual, I can hardly stay warm, and I've been grinding my jaw, and like tensing it. And for some odd reason my weight is really weird. Apparently I'm underweight. I haven't watched the rest of the video yet, but if I tell my parents about it, they'll think that I'm saying it maybe for attention, or they won't believe me, or even worse, they'll take me to a hospital, and overreact.

[@Altagracia111]

I was just recently diagnosed with Anemia, after being admitted to the Hospital for 3 days. I live on the third floor and each time go up the stairs I felt like I ran a marathon, my heart also would beat so fast. I also slept a lot and when I was a wake my muscles would ache and I would feel so tired. I also chewed a lot of ice and straws and hair pins because I developed ( pica )..My hands and feet were cold every so often and I noticed thinning of my hair. This has been going on for about two years but after experiencing severe chest pains, I couldn't take it any more and went to ER. They found my hemoglobin ( red blood count) as low as 5.. normal is 12.. My poor heart was pumping overtime to try to give my body oxygen that explains the palpitations, shortness of breath, etc. Also, I had skin issues, hair, muscle aches etc.. all caused from low oxygen in the blood. They admitted me to the hospital for 3 days. I was given a blood transfusion because I could have had a stroke if I didn't raise my hemoglobin fast enough. Let me tell you.. it's no joke. My cause is due to fibroids.. but some other folks could have bleeding stools or some other underlining cause for anemia. Get checked out, you will be glad you did. Blessings to all

When my doctor told me I was anemic it looked like he was really worried. He asked me if I experienced symptoms of it I said no because it's really just common for me to be overly stressed and easily fatigued, i've always thought it was just because of me of unhealthy diet.

Yes, that does sound like anemia. I've been suffering from Anemia For the past three years, but lately it been getting a lot worse where i can not function right. I can't focus or concentrate on anything. Everytime i stand up i feel like i am going to pass out. Light headed 24/7. also a lot of people in my family died Thalassemia (which is a lot worse). Now what you should do, go get your blood checked, and they will give you iron supplements if you are anemic. Any questions. Just message me.

dude, you might have muted this post but I'll try to tell you anyway. my god father had issue when it comes to pooping for 20 years. he put on a show and fooled everyone and no one questioned him because...what he did in there is his business. i won't go detail into what it was but it developed into cancer and he had surgery a few years ago. his gut is connected to a plastic bad. he doesn't go poo poo anymore, he replaces that bag instead. how did this happened? he said he kinda knows something was wrong but he was too scared to see a doctor. see a doctor if you think something isn't right. if it's false, laugh about it. if it's true, you can fix it before it's too late.

I have anemia. I have had it since i was a teenager. its horrible. I have taken iron tablets which has not helped so im seeing my doctor on tuesday. I have severe tiredness, dizziness and i always feel cold even when its hot outside i still shiver. When I am really cold my lips always turn bright blue. I have good hours sleep at night about 10 hours a night, I eat iron rich foods and took all my iron tablets but still feel the same. most of the day I have to sleep during the day for naps. When i wake up everyday it feels like i have had no sleep at all even though i know i have had plenty of sleep.

They were thinking about giving me a blood transfusion it was so bad. Freaked me out! Go get checked asap...i wish I had known earlier. This sucks being so weak!

I went to the ER after feeling all those symptoms. I never took the diagnosis seriously and would of never suspected the lightheadedness and chest pain was just my anemia getting worse.

I got a blood test about 3 months ago and it showed that my iron is on the low side but not enough to be fully anemic. Ever since then, symptoms have gotten so much worse. I’m 14 and I always feel low on energy. My parents are concerned and try to stop me whenever I get a tall glass of just ice, no water. I currently have a cold and thus makes matters even worse!

[@howdini]

Sorry to hear that! Sure hope you are doing better!

[@jahovafitness7050]

I have some of these symptoms. But the thing is most of them are going away. But one thing keeps getting worse. If I get up after being lethargic for most of the day my vision gets blurry and I loose my balance. I have passed out once but it was for a few seconds. When she said "if you get lightheaded you need to go to a doctor" I'm getting a little worried because it's been happening for almost a year...

[@d.c.3346]

Shit, same!

[@laurenclarke8779]

I also go dizzy and Ive seen yellow before, I don't know what it is I got quite worried, I have a doctors appointment but i don't know what they will say, I have to take lamatrogine for epilepsy and it is a side affect, but I'm going just to make sure. If anyone knows anything about this please comment on this X

[@jahovafitness7050]

+Lauren Clarke Here's what I found out. It got really bad one time and I asked my mom if she could take me to the doctors. I was sent to the hospital. After they gave me fluid and all, they came back and told me I did not have anemia. This surprised me. They told me I was just dehydrated and for a very long time. It was an anxiety attack, the thought of having to suffer anemia, that caused me to feel these symptoms. Apparently, feeling dehydrated and having anemia have similar side effects.

[@laurenclarke8779]

+HusheX well thinking of that, I do have anxiety attacks, and I don't drink much! I find this really weird because I seem comfortable telling people who I don't know on the internet about my problems and illnesses but in really it's a scary thing, knowing that someone is going through the same thing that was pretty much nothing has made me feel a lot better! Thank you so much!

[@laurenclarke8779]

Also if you have any more information please let me know!

[@howdini]

Wow! What are they doing to help you?

[@christopherkline4042]

i have all these symptoms!

[@howdini]

We are not doctors, but we feel your frustration. Everything "appears" to be normal, but you "feel" like it is not. What are you supposed to do? Right? Are you in a position that you can get a 2nd opinion for another dr.? I know it costs money and more time and frustration for you but need answers and maybe an Internal Medical Dr. or an Endocrinologist may be able to dig deeper.

[@Lovnmom5]

Somedays I'm fine somedays i just feel so weak and dizzy it sucks one min I'm ok next i just can't explain it

[@MikaelVitalyVyacheslav-bh2fk]

I am a vegan I eat every thing organic and I used to donated blood to the Red Cross in Vancouver-Canada until one day I started feeling nausea dizzy and very weak and I fell down 3 times in a week ..I went to the the Emergecy hospital and had a Iron blood test done and my iron ferritin levels was 3 very low !!so low !!...no wonder i was so sick no energy by 2:00pm I had to lied down for two hours and sleep couldn't go to work for 6 weeks ..I was soo sick and weak I thought I had a "brain tumour" and I was dying I was so depressed .Its been over two months I been taking Iron supplements , nutritional yeast for B12 -B-vitamins and eating food rich in Iron .Now I feel.. 50 percent better I am recovering slowly.. I will not be donating blood to the Red cross thats for sure !NEVER AGAIN ... I never thought low levels of Iron could make a person so sick . Now I am taking "Feramax "150 one pill a day its bringing my iron levels up .I take one capsule contain 150 mg. of iron I take one a day prescribed by the doctor at the hospital ...so far its bringing my iron levels slowly up .I will go for a blood test in 4 weeks .This Anaemia is very serious ! I even lost part of my hearing . I hope my post can help somebody .Once my iron level are up I will start take a more natural Iron supplement but for now I will wait until my iron level reach around 80 to 100 . Anaemia is a very serious condition .. get your Iron levels checked . Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition where a lack of iron in the body leads to a reduction in the number of red blood cells. Iron is used to produce red blood cells, which help store and carry oxygen in the blood. If you have fewer red blood cells than is normal, your organs and tissues won't get as much oxygen as they usually would. There are several different types of anaemia, and each one has a different cause. Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common type. Other types of anaemia can be caused by a lack of vitamin B12 or folate in the body , deficiency of copper by taking too much Zinc supplements - read more about vitamin B12 and folate deficiency anaemia.one more ...."caffeine" can reduce iron absorption by up to "80 percent" ! ..yes 80% !. Consider substituting non-caffeinated versions of coffee, teas and other drinks when you can and not drink pop laden with sugar and caffeine . don't drink milk or tumeric it stops iron abortion ..no dairy no turmeric if you're anaemic ...better you eat , red beets spinach and get you Iron levels checked every 4 months .Also high levels of Iron above 180 can damage your heart body organs . your iron levels should be no higher than 120 .

[@howdini]

Make sure that you follow your doctors advice and recommendations!

[@howdini]

So sorry you are going through all that again...are you continuing to be checked by your doctor? If not your REALLY need to.

[@goldengirl67]

I am anemic so I opted for injections in my hip every 14 days which is more painful but more convenient for me than taking pills every day. I suffer from heavy periods and can't even leave the house sometimes due to complications. Anemia is serious (it can damage your heart just do some research) and I have my blood tested every 12 weeks because it takes that long to rebuild red blood cells. Women suffer more than men. But if you barely eat you can slip into an anemia easily.

[@2Bonita08]

A lot of blood loss for the last year, almost every day. Yesterday was severe. It is a sign I am working too hard to accomplish a goal but it isn't possible right now. Never did I think too much exercise is a bad thing.

[@ayanuger571]

I was diagnosed today

[@ayanuger571]

They said my iron levels was a 7/50 which is dangerously and severely low.

[@Ashely10183]

Yes. I am trying to book an appointment as soon as I can. Thanks for the help, though.

[@paolafanrbd]

So i can hardly breath i feel like i don't have enough "air" the fatigue sign,well i get exausted fast because of the breathing thing...i don't know if y'all understand....my skin is okay ! My heart sometimes beats fast for no reason...i don't know what i have !! Ooh i also have dizziness(i don't know how to write the word !!

[@666dagstein]

They described in this video exactly what happened to me. I went to ER one night because I had chest pain, chest tightness and my heart was pounding for no reason. I thought I was dying and having a heart attack, they took my blood and discovered I was significantly anemic.

[@francescascott2577]

I think I am anemic Apart from always being tierd even though I get 10 hours sleep And that I have fainted 8 times in the last 8 months

[@jlonnsbudgets533]

[@Nyocurio]

Thank you internet for providing me with quick and accurate information!

[@kimordonez13]

Can you miss your period? I missed it for 3 weeks now Is it saving my blood? Cus I thought period blood was no good that's why your body is taking it out?

[@Booliocious]

I have same question. I'm late this month. Not sexually active..low energy.. dry skin lightheaded..weak and muscles feel even weaknesses can't simply lift dishes to wash. Want sleep all the time. If it's lower than 5, does your body just go into alarm and stop until iron levels get better?

[@andriab8517]

I have random bruises and recently developed one on my chin (I would have remembered hitting my chin) and I started piecing my symptoms together. I get rapid heart rate often, bruising, crazy fatigue (always tired), light headed a lot. Sometimes I even get dizzy spells & confusion. I'll be right in the middle of a sentence and I will not remember what we were talking about. I have more of the major signs of this but I worry that it will cause problems down the road. I am getting iron pills tomorrow to start some kind of treatment. Hopefully I am correct in this and don't need a doctor taking my blood

[@Danny011189]

@Brocahlicious89 im so glad to see other people describing the same things, i had / have this and it got me fired from my job :( the moodyness and weakness didnt go together with manual labour hehehe, anyway i changed my diet and it got alot better, i started blending spinach with bannas and maybe apples (other days all kinds of stuff too) for a morning breakfast, it really really helped

[@Make1true]

I had anemia for 6 months and didn't know. It got to the point were I had fainted and would not be able to see! Now I'm ok taking my iron pills, but I still get really bad headaches if I miss a day of taking them! :)

[@ishasingh8529]

I have anemia, I am taking pills for iron. but still fainting

[@Summer-vp3dt]

I think I do but I'll know on Wednesday

[@ishasingh8529]

***** not good

[@ethan74105]

Try black beans.

[@ishasingh8529]

+Ethan Y I'm trying apple beetroot juice.i hate this shitty situation.

[@ethan74105]

+isha singh Sorry. I know the feeling. I was always dizzy and tired until i started eating black beans or dark red kidney beans with organic orange juice. The vitamin C helps your body absorb the iron

[@howdini]

Make sure that you still see your physician to get accurate diagnosis.

[@lizzyboo567]

I just went to donate blood and they sent me away because I'm anemic and I just found out😑.

[@zhhz2034]

Donating blood made me anemic.

[@howdini]

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. You really do need to follow your doctors orders. There is a difference between synthetic Iron and WHOLE FOOD IRON. The whole food version, does not upset your stomach or cause nausea (or at least as bad) PLUS MOST of the milligrams that is in each pill is actually absorbed into your body to help you. The synthetic version does not absorb fully and you expel most out (about 60-75%) in your urine.

[@lifeofjd1195]

My mom is anemic.. :( I'm scared but she's okay

[@howdini]

Cont. You won't find the whole food in a grocery store only Health Food stores carry them. On an on-line supplement shop. They are more expensive too.

[@kat-cp7lc]

i honestly think i’m anemic i have all of the systems plus i have fine hair and thin finger nails and i’m really pale. i also have my period like 2 times a month and i’m always tired

[@krystalmoore-ironwarrior4735]

Yes, definitely talk to your doctor! I just did a video about the important blood tests you need to request (that they won't order unless you ask!) that should be helpful! :-)

[@angelofdarkness49]

I have anemia, i'm loosing weight (and i'm already slim/thin as i am) my hair is slowly falling out, and sometimes i get palputations in my heart, also i'm paler than i naturally am, but i have a weird yellowy hue type skin. This illness is depressing as hell, i'm only 18, and i'm too self concious to go outside untill it's gone. I've been on iron tablets for 2 days, i've seen an improvement with my heart and i'm slowly regaining energy. Hopefully i can put weight on again and grow my hair back.

[@pastelab]

It gets better. It takes a while, yes or maybe you just don't feel the effects any more- I don't know. But you do get through it. For me it became so bad that I had to hold onto someone's hand to stand or even walk from one place to another. IV fluid got me back for a while and well, isotonic fluids and protein pills (The after taste is disgusting though, I hate oranges now because of them) but yeah- You do manage. Right now I am recovering from anorexia as well so my life is fun! :P I'm not tired anymore and if I am, I don't care about it anymore. I ain't gonna let a deficiency define me. I like to imagine that I have forgotten to eat as my life is just that awesome. Just hold on. I'm not giving you a motivational speech I'm giving you real talk. Srsly, you either do get used to it or it gets better.

[@pastelab]

I still have those times though and well, it depends on the situation. FOr example in hiking my friends they walk distances fast and in long breaks. I can't do that because oxygen doesn't reach my muscles as well as them- so I go for l distances slow and short breaks. I either push myself or if it becomes to hard to endure, find something else to do- a small task and then get back later.

[@enchantedcupcake877]

Sana Qureshi im skinny but gaining wait xD im like 97 or 98 pounds im in 9th grade xD

[@jannettageorge7921]

my anemia is rather severe. I have been on my monthly for 3 weeks straight, which is causing my anemia to become worse. I can't even walk around the corner and I get out of breath. I am on vacation too. my leg muscles feel like jelly, my body is severely weak, it's hard to pick up anything off of the floor, so I am just lying here in the hotel room, waiting for my mother to get back. Can't wait to go home tomorrow!

[@howdini]

Good! Hope you will be feeling better soon!

[@howdini]

Can you call your doctor and let them know about the iron supplements that you had taken before the test. We are not sure what kind of test was given nor what your results were. Talking to them about your concerns will be your best option. But please call esp. if you are certain.

[@Sparklytank]

I have heard that many supplements contain iron types that are not easily assimilated by the body, such as ferric oxide. I just saw another video which described that parsley, spinach and swiss chard are very good (juiced, especially), for iron deficiency anemia. They said that parsley was the highest of all the vegetables. Best of luck to you!
