Could I be anemic?

I've been noticing over the last month or so that I've been feeling kind of run down, hardly any energy, and sometimes my heart beats fast for no reason. My concentration is also worse than ever (if that's possible; I was tested for ADD three times). My brain just feels "fuzzy". Could I be anemic? I take vitamins every day so I don't see how I could be, but I guess anything can happen. Anyone ever have similar symptoms? I'm trying to decide if a trip to the doc is worth it. Thanks!

Check the Vitamins you are taking. I was taking a multi Vitamin at first and was absolutely exhausted. Come to find out.... No Iron in it. You need a Multi Vitamin/Mineral. Those have iron.

Made all the difference in the world for me!

Good Luck

Have you had your blood pressure checked? Those were signs I had when my blood pressure was really high. My primary physician just ran a full panel on vitamin levels, etc. since I had the band done, he wants to keep an eye on it. I also have severe Vitamin D deficiency which also caused the symptoms you mentioned. I would go see your regular doctor.

make sure you are getting enough protein and iron in your diet. how much are you eating? i have been keeping track of my protein intake daily and i am losing weight again due to eating more protein.

I just had my blood pressure checked when I went to my GYN for a checkup a few days ago and it was fine. My multivitamin definitely has iron in it, I checked that first. I recently started eating greek yogurt for breakfast and make sure to have a protein bar every day to up my protein intake. Guess it's time to head to the doctor to find out what's happening.
