A member asked:

I'm worried because my blood test results say i'm anemic but i'm not, what do you suggest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow your doctor's: Advice. If the blood test says you are anemic, you are anemic, because anemia is defined based on a blood test. You should follow your doctor's advice. You may consult this site for info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/complete-blood-count/my00476/dsection=results.
