Subject: BS: Wish me luck! Anemia tests... From: Dave the Gnome Date: 30 Jan 13 - 06:02 PM Went to the docs on Thursday with realty bad pains in my leg and general knackeredness. He sent me for a blood test on Monday then today called to say I need to go to hospital for futher tests on severe anemia:-( I am going tomorrow. I can see a number of possibilities - The pains in the leg are a thrombosis - Which I am prone to - and that can exacerbate anemic conditions. Hopefully some anti-coagulant treatment will help. The anemia could also be a result of months (probably years) of not sleeping. I had tests for obstructive sleep apnea which proved positive. At one point my SATS were 90%. All, according to what I read, making hemoglobin counts drop. Come Monday I am hoping to fitted up with a CPAP machine. There is an unknown bleed somewhere - Quite possibly in the stomach as I do take lots of other meds, including aspirin, for various conditions. A combination of some or all the above. I am quite happy with my health otherwise. No weight loss (I wish!) no blood coming out of anywhere it shouldn't. Blood pressure fine. Heart rate high but steady. Anyway - I am sure good wishes provide positive vibes (man) so keep 'em coming and I will keep you posted. I have to be better by the 15th of Feb anyway as we are moving house! Cheers DtG |
