Hi I’ve been feeling tired dizzy and losing some weight going doctors Monday however can weight loss be a symptom of anemia so worried I had a dizzy spell earlier at work. Thanks

Just do a blood test and you will see if you are anemic. Your symptoms are very non specific. Can be a bunch of things, including anxiety.

Hello Natalie,

I can tell you from first hand experience that anemia can make you feel this way. In December and January, I was having a TON of health problems. I finally had a bunch of tests ran in February and one of the things that came back was that I was severely anemic (to the point that my doc referred me to a hematologist). My symptoms were extreme fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, and bruising REALLY easily. I've been on 145mg of iron a day since February 16th and I feel a lot better. Definitely have your iron levels tested!
