A member asked:
Conjunctiva quite pale. got a blood test 6 months ago, no anemia. i am extremely sleep deprived over the past months. why is it pale?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pale from stress: Most common cause of pallor is high adrenaline levels, not actually anemia. Adrenaline constricts small blood vessels, making less blood in capillaries and therefore less redness, i.e., pallor. Stress causes high adrenaline, and sleep loss is terribly stressful. Figure out why the sleep is a problem and you will be home free!
