Anemia Support Group
Anemia (or anaemia), 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.
I have been diagnosed with anemia and low vitamin d! Well extremely low vitamin d!I was feeling really weak and tired. One day it literally scared me when I had to hold on to something to keep my balance. Went to the doctor and got the news. Ive also been having palpatations like crazy. I heard that was a symptom of anemia. Its only when im moving to fast or im sitting down and stand up too fast or bend over. I thought I was having really bad anxiety. I panic really bad when this happens. Do any of you get that feeling or what are your symptoms?
I have had palpitations recently and found out last week that my levels are at an all time low. I know that they will go away as my iron levels go up. I just hope it is soon! My biggest symptom is being completely exhausted. Some days I am so tired I can barely get out of bed.
If you need to talk or just vent, I am here. It can be a very frustrating time. Good luck with your upcoming appointment!
