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 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!
