Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital check-up revealed a blood-related issue. How can anemia be diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
If you have anemia, you can go to the hospital for a thorough blood test to confirm the diagnosis. By checking the hemoglobin level, you can determine whether you have anemia. If the hemoglobin level is significantly low, it is caused by anemia, and further tests can be conducted to identify the cause, such as iron deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia, or thalassemia. Then, targeted treatment can be administered. If the blood test results are normal, then dizziness may require checking blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, cervical spine, and brain blood supply to make a further assessment.
