is this caused by anemia?!


Question: Is this caused by anemia?
lately ive developed being very tired, the inside of my eyelids and gums are a very light pink, and the skin under my eyes are getting dark, some people have told me that its a sign of being anemic, but, well, i like to take very hot baths and today i took a bath and when i got out i felt really dizzy and when i walked to the hall i fainted, when i woke up my head hurt very badly but i'm sure i didn't hit anything could the fact i fainted have to do with anemia, the heat of the water or something wayyy worse

Answers:

The tiredness, light eyelids/gums, and undereye circles could be from anemia.
The fainting could be from anemia, but could also just be from being in water that was too hot. Or maybe the anemia made you more susceptible to fainting from the heat, IDK. But definitely stop running your baths that hot, it isn't healthy even if you aren't anemic. The body can only handle so much heat?

Anyway, see the doctor. They can do a quick blood test to check for anemia, if you have it you might need some medication [iron or b12 supplements] to get rid of it. I doubt it's anything worse than anemia and/or too hot water though.



It may be anemia. Go to your doctor and get a blood test so you can know for sure.



This does sound like you are an anemic, you need to be check and put on some medication to build up your blood.
