How does stress and anxiety affect anemia?

Usually it won't: Discuss with your dr about the treatment of your conditions. You more likely need reassurance more than anything else. Get some rest, exercise & eat more fruits and veggies and try yoga/meditation or prayers to relax your mind. Best wishes!

It does: Not directly but any stressor can make anemia worse in the sense of more symptoms relative to the low hgb.
