Hi all,
I'm just debating whether to make a doctors appointment.
I have a feeling I might be a bit anaemic. I am constantly tired even though I'm getting 9 hours sleep every night. I find myself short of breath and feeling giddy. I've had the odd heart palpitation too. Just generally so lethargic and, by late afternoon, I feel like I could pass out.
I remember being a bit anaemic when I was younger but the doctor said it wasn't so bad that I'd need to do anything about it (?!) I eat fairly well. Have a mixture of foods including a fair amount of broccoli, dark green veg, dark and light meats.
My OH wants me to make a doctors appointment, but I feel like he will just tell me to increase iron rich foods in my diet (which obviously I can and will).
I know it's a daft question but I hate going to the docs (not sure anybody enjoys it!) should I just try and sort it out myself or go and get checked anyway?! I hate feeling like I might be wasting their time!
I'm that tired that I can't even decide this for myself!!
