How long does anemia usually last?!


Question: How long does anemia usually last!?
Whilst taking the iron supplements, of course!.

I went to the GP today because I've fainted a few times recently and am extremely tired all the time!.

He took a blood sample and told me it was a possibility that I had anemia!.
He was very concerned with my extremely pale complexion and my eating habits!.
I very rarely eat red meat!. In fact, I rarely eat at all!.

Do you think it is a possibilty that I have anemia!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I hope that you told your doctor about your non-eating!. Anaemia will only be one of your problems!. Unless your iron level comes up, your heart and other organs are struggling to function!. It can take quite a while on iron tablets alone!. You really do need to eat some nutritious food as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're not eating at all this can cause you to look pale and be exhausted, you may not even be anemic at all!.

Instead of taking iron supplements and increasing your red meat intake, start cooking with some good old fashioned cast iron pans!. The food will help to absorb the iron from the pans and IMO it's healthier than eating a pill, because most of those pills cause you to be extremely constipated!. (This is according to my mother as she is also anemic)

Pale skin doesn't always mean you have something wrong with you!. It could be just your nationality!. What you need to look at, instead of your skin, is the insides of your eyes!. If those are unusually pale then you have anemia, or a mild case of it!. (I'm the same way, and it didn't show up in my blood work that I was anemic, but I have all the other symptoms!.)

Anemia will last until you take care of it by taking care of yourself!. If you're not taking care of yourself then it will always be there!.
