Am i really anemic???!
Question: Am i really anemic.?.?.?
i had a blood sample test and the doctor said i was anemic. i didn't eat anything before getting my blood drawn out (the appointment was in the morning at around 9-11... i dont remember the exact time). i was really hungry and was just waiting to leave the doctor's office to get a bite to eat. so after the results came out, i wondered if the results came out as me being anemic because i was seriously hungry and didn't have anything fueling me. is it possible for the results of being anemic to change because i was starving at the time i got my blood drawn out or does that not affect anything.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
That doesn't effect it. It takes a while for new red blood cells to build up from iron that you ingest, so there is no way that fasting before the blood test caused it to show that you are anemic. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
what you eat before a blood test doesn't effect it or change what it would say if you have anemia
it counts the red blood cells so what you ate wouldnt change it :)Health Question & Answer
