I've been concerned that I have anemia. After some internet research it appeared I had a lot of the symptoms. Heart palpitations, pale skin, constant fatigue and weakness, occasional lightheadedness and I don't know if I would classify it as shortness of breath but something doesn't feel right with my breathing, especially when lying down. And I definitely will admit I have a poor diet and probably don't get all the iron I need. However I went to the doctor today and my hemoglobin count was 13.2 and the nurse said that was perfect. So, obviously I DON'T have anemia, what could mimic it that would give me the symptoms and feel like I do have anemia?
