Get tested: You can only know it with a hemoglobin/ hematocrit or a complete blood count. You can suspect it if you are easily fatigued, most people do not become anemic without significant long-term blood loss though.

Symptoms and testing: Symptoms common to many types of anemia include the following: easy fatigue and loss of energy, rapid heart beat, (particularly with exercise), shortness of breath, headache, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, pale skin, leg cramps, and insomnia. A simple blood test known as a complete blood count can determine if you are anemic. Many causes of anemia can be treated. See your doctor.
