Hey guys,
So after getting my blood test results back today after having them done last week, I have been told I have bad anaemia. I asked why no one called me when I had been feeling so bad (chest tightness, palpitations, tired etc), and they said it was because I had been referred to an eating disorder clinic who would discuss it with me there.
BUT, I have not yet even received my referral letter or date of appointment for the eating disorder clinic, and I am feeling bad now. It could be that my anxiety is not helping, but surely bad anaemia without tablets is dangerous for me?
I am worried my heart will be damaged or stop! I have been having chest tightness/shortness of breath/palpitations, and tiredness - all common with anaemia, so what can I do?
My doctor is off for the week, which is such bad luck, and I can't get into my clinic for another few days!
Any advice? Should I just eat lots of meat, fish, and veg, and hope I feel better before being seen?
Many thanks!
