Anemia symptoms Aug 6, 2003 I was wondering if the following things could be symptoms of anemia: hair loss, numbness in upper leg (thigh area), sharp, insatiable hunger despite having eaten a full meal about an hour earlier, restlessness (especially in the legs), sleeplessness, and constant headaches These are over and above tiredness and inertia. |

Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hello, Nope, anemia can cause lots of symptoms, but it is not really noted to be a cause of most of the symptoms you list. Yes, it can cause fatigue, headaches, and a host of other symptoms. The test for anemia is a very simple blood test. If you are worried, see your doctor. There's no need to try to second guess a condition like anemia, based solely on symptoms. Dr. Bob |
