Anemia: Your chronic anemia would have to have gradually dropped to a very low level to cause those symptoms or else your red blood cell count would have to drop suddenly from a significant bleeding event to bring on those symptoms. I do recommend urgent evaluation in view of the severity of your symptoms.
