You don't know: However, if you are very pale, fatigued, feels dizzy often, or have shortness of breath, or exercise intolerance, you may have advanced degree of anemia. But all these symptoms can be caused by other reasons than anemia. Therefore without blood test, cbc, you would not know if you have anemia or not.
