How do I know if I've got iron deficiency/anemia?!
Question: Are these the same thing?
Answers: Are these the same thing?
If you have low iron levels, you might feel tired, dizzy , cold or irritable! Try taking an iron tonic to boost your levels if this is the case, otherwise, try eating foods that are rich in iron...seeds, wholemeal bread, etc.
good luckxxx
if its still creased iron it again..some things are a Lil stubborn
well, look at the red bit surrounding your eye. if it is red you are fine but if it is paler than usual than you might want to contact a doctor
They are the same thing. The only way to tell for sure is to have your doctor do a blood test. If the test is positive, the doctor will suggest the appropriate dosage for an iron supplement or a change in your diet so that it includes foods rich in iron depending on the severity of the deficiency.
****Do not begin taking an iron supplement on your own just because you think that you are anemic, too much iron on your system is toxic!****
Some of the symptoms are being tired, having no energy, cold and irritable.
You get light headed when you stand up to fast,you really don't want to eat..some people eat alot of ice. Head aches will become more severe. If it goes on for to long you could end up in the hospital getting blood transfusions..get iron
iron deficiency/ anemia are for the most part the same thing. Basically when you are anemic you have less then normal red blood cells or hemoglobin and it can be related to a number of things including an iron deficiency.Some of the symptoms of this are if you are really pale, weakness, tiredness, Lightheadedness, headache ringing in the ears.... The thing about these symptoms is that they are very vauge... if you do suspect that you have a deficency you should consult your doctor and get some lab work done.
hi, m suffering thalessemia beta ,m a carrier and recently been diagnosed with low iron levels,other than the blood tests,my face was all pale ,and so my eyes,and my palms were more of blood less like pale or whitish, if thats the case with you accompanied by getting tired or breathless after climbing few steps etc then u are anemic,and there is nothing wrong with it ,all wht you need is iron sulphate that ur gp might suggest you and good food rich with iron like red meat,apples,pomegranate etc.and i think they both are the same having anemia means low hemoglobin level that occurs due to deficiency of iron in blood.hope this note helps you.
Yeah they mean the same thing. Pull ur lower eye lid down if its quite bright red u are ok, if it is pale then u could be anemic. But u need to have a blood test at the doc's to determine weather u definatley are or not. The main symptom of anemia is often feelin exhausted even though u have slept well. It's common in pregnancy, the good thing is though it is easy to treat.
Good Luck
