Has anyone with Anemia had these symptoms?
*Want to start by saying I am trying to get a GP appointment but wanted to see if anyone on here had these symptoms*
I am 7 months pp and when I was 5 months pregnant I got diagnosed with anemia and was given iron pills. Fast forward to now after I been off the iron pills I been getting extremely cold, very itchy skin and also unexplained weight loss. I just wasn’t sure if it could be related to anemia again or not. I randomly lost 3 pounds in the past 3-4 days even though my eating hasn’t changed and I have been getting the same amount of exercise.

Itchy skin isn’t a thing for me but being cold all the time definitely is.
I had/have severe anemia, always itchy, always tired. I did lose weight, and I was super pale and always craved sonic ice. I also would almost pass out any time I ate because (according to doctor) the blood rushes to your stomach to digest food and since i had almost no iron at all it was using what little I had to process food. I ended up needing 5 IV infusions, and after 4 months I need additional infusions.
Itchy, dry skin and feeling cold can definitely be symptoms of anemia. I'm not sure if losing weight is also related.
