Blood test.: You might suspect anemia if you are bleeding, if you look pale, or if you note unusual fatigue or limited stamina. However, the only way to know for sure is to do a blood test called a CBC (complete blood count) and see if your hemoglobin is below normal.

Blood work: Your physician can run blood work and see if you have anemia. The test is called a CBC or complete blood count. Another way to easily check for anemia, and do a good deed at the same time, is to go to the local blood bank, and try to donate blood. If you have anemia, they will let you know, and if you don't have anemia, you can save a life.

Doctor: 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/hair/skin abnormalities, etc.), please consult your doctor or a hematologist.

Getting blood work: You may feel something like fatigue, dizziness, lack of energy etc, which has led you to think that you are anemic. However, those are non specific symptoms that could also be caused by other medical problems. To find out whether you are anemic or not is by getting a basic simple blood test-a complete blood count. Go to see your doc and discuss further about your concern and get blood a blood work.
