In what ways can you know if you're anemic, without going to the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Proper diagnosis of anemia is absolutely necessary for adequate treatment. This requires appropriate testing by a qualified physician. If you have reason to suspect anemia (fatigue, pallor, bad taste, shortness of breath, red tongue, nail and skin abnormalities, etc.), please consult your doctor or a hematologist.
