Question 1

Accepted Answer

You have choices: You could ask your primary to refer you for a second opinion from either an internist or a specialist. Where are the hard nodes located? If they are in the neck and ENT doctor can evaluate them for a biopsy. A hematologist can also investigate the cause of anemia and hard lymph nodes. How low is your hemoglobin?

Question 2

how long can i wait with anemia to see if it goes away without seeing a doctor?

Accepted Answer

Hard to answer...: You would need bloodwork to see how anemic you are.  I would take iron sulfate with vitamin c atleast twice a day.  Also, eat dark green, leafy vegetables.  If you get dizzy easily or short of breast or have fatigue, you should see your doctor asap.

Question 3

do doctors see a lot of patients with pernicious anemia?

Accepted Answer

Some: Pernicious anemia is due to malabsorption of vitamin b-12 from the GI tract.  It is a form of low blood cell count with associated symptoms of fatigue, paleness, breathing difficulties, etc.  While not very common, all such patients should be evaluated by their doctor to give treatment for the pernicious anemia if that is the only problem and to discover any other problem.

Pretty normal. : Don't think it's anything abnormal. Your period can change both with age and it can vary from its baseline to longer or shorter. No particular reason except for normal hormonal changes.

Accepted Answer

: You are mildly anemic, but to determine the type it would be helpful to know the MCV, MCH&amp; MCHC,.  Serum iron, TIBC, Vit B12 levels also are helpful.  If all  these are normal you may have anemia of chronic disease. Numbness can be caused by B12 or folic acid deficiency.

Question 8

how to figure if i have anemia at home without seeing a doctor?

Accepted Answer

You can't: Because the symptoms are non specific and there are many causes.

Question 9

is there a way to know if we have anemia without visiting the doctor and doing tests?

Accepted Answer

Not for sure: Measures of hemoglobin and hematocrit, the size of red blood cells, iron binding capacity, etc are the most reliable ways to assess possible anemia.  Anemia symptoms include fatigue, breathlessness on moderate activity, and paleness in the gums, palmar creases, and conjunctivae -- but are only hints which  can't confirm it. If present, anemia needs to be fully investigated & its cause treated.

Question 10

is idiopathic lymphocytosis a thing? i have had lymphocytosis for >1.5yr,  (prev doc never said anything) but no determinable cause. also have anemia

Accepted Answer

Ideopathic=Basis not: understood. Lymphocytosis: vague term for ↑ed concentration of lymphocytes (5 major types) in  peripheral blood count than considered usual (Many Docs don&#x27;t mention what they don&#x27;t understand.). If a colony of lymphocytes in bone marrow are reproducing fast &amp; crowding out RBC reproduction, this could be one basis for the anemia. If severe enough this is called leukemia; many different seventies.
