I am wondering if I could possibly be anemic. I know, I know, go see a doctor blah blah. This is not a threatening condition and until I have at least a hint that I might be, I will refrain from spending hundreds of dollars. Anyway…
I am most interested in asking anemic people if any of this sound like what you may have experienced.
Here are my stats and some of my history that makes me think I might be anemic. Do these sound like spot-on for anemia or just a typical young person things (shut and stop being so lazy!)
Sex: Male
Age: 23
Height: 5’6” (short for family)
Weight: 115

As an infant, my mom was shocked at the long naps I would take. She would let me sleep for hours and then eventually wake me up.
-
In middle school my parents would fuss at me for complaining about being tired all of the time. They would regularly find me asleep at my desk (I was home schooled).
-
I frequently get sick/nauseous after working out. I don’t work out tremendously hard, and this continues even after working out on schedule for months.
-
Exercise, even after months, makes me much more tired. I am the opposite of the people who say they have more energy after implementing regular exercise routine.
-
I can easily sleep 12 hours every day.
-
With plenty of sleep, even if my “mind” is awake, my eyes/body can feel tired.
Am I anemic or just plain lazy?
