I'm exhausted because I have anemia.
Im perpetually exhausted. It's no wonder why I can't make it through a day without napping. Explains the bruising and heart palpitations too

@buriedalive Yup. Anemia can be caused by internal bleeding, say, from an ulcer. It can be caused by poor diet. It can be caused by heavy periods or endometriosis in women, and also by the bodies inability to absorb vitamin B12 or iron.

@NativePortlander1970 wowza who would have thunk it!
I bet they were totally flabbergasted!
It's weird working in professions like health. You carry out your lifes work to a standard of following the book, studies and experience, then one day someone comes along and boom it throws everything off.
Stressful for patient and staff.

You can build up your blood. It takes time and consistency. My mom has been a lifelong sufferer of anemia.
Eat loads of green leafy vegetables and meat liver, fish, potatoes to build up heme.
Take an iron supplement but be careful about taking too much iron so ask your Dr if you are on any meds.
Dried fruits like prunes, B12 and folate rich foods and exercise.
All will help. Also do you know the cause of the anemia?
Must eliminate or mitigate the root cause.

@buriedalive Hope you get to the bottom of that!
Get your dr to refer you to a hematologist to find out why
