I think I might be anemic..?!
Question: I think I might be anemic!.!.!?
I've been having problems with temperature sensitivity for awhile now!. I'm either freezing my butt off or sweating like crazy!. It's hard to find a temperature I am comfortable at, though I prefer sweating to shivering!.
I thought it was maybe my depression coming back that makes me so tired and just want to sleep all the time, and being pale, and having a sort of sad mood lately too, but now I don't know!.
I know I don't eat well!. I don't eat meat or seafood or pasta or vegetables or fruit!.!. which sounds really bad but for the most part I feel fine!.!.
This year I have not been able to concentrate in school at alll!. I'm typically a 4!.0 student and have been fluctuating 2!.5 - 3!.5 so far, but I just figured I was lazy and unmotivated since it's my senior year!.
Today I looked up that temperature sensitivity thing though since my house is 67 degrees and I am in gloves and a winter hat and wrapped in a blanket!.
My nails aren't weird shaped, though I do keep them painted since they flake and peel and are soft!. My nails never chip!.!. they just sort of peel/rip =/
I don't know, I just assumed it was a mental problem since that's how I roll, but maybe I should actually go to the doctor's, eh!? Do I sound anemic!?
What else can I check about myself to further investigate if it's worth a trip, or decide if I am just being a hypochondriac!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey,
I'm not a doctor, but I'm anemic!. I have the exact same problems as you!.My hands and feet are constantly freezing, I'm always tired, I have trouble concentrating, etc!. - all the symptoms you discussed!. Also, for a while my grades were slipping because all I wanted to do was sleep and I could never concentrate!. I would suggest going to the doctor to get your blood tested because you shouldn't start taking anything until you know for sure that you're anemic!. If you want more info on anemia, you can look at this website: http://www!.emedicinehealth!.com/anemia/pa!.!.!.
I would go as soon as possible because once you start taking iron, it should improve a lot!. I am now able to sit through classes without falling asleep on my desk and can do homework!.
I hope I helped you and good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
