Am I anemic?

Anemia symptoms include fatigue, cold hands, pale skin, cracked lip corners, and cravings for ice. A simple blood test (hemoglobin + ferritin) confirms it. Women in reproductive years are the most common group.

Follow-up questions

Best way to raise iron?

Red meat is most absorbable; plant iron (lentils, spinach) needs vitamin C to absorb well. Avoid tea/coffee within an hour of iron-rich meals.

Do I need supplements?

Only if a blood test shows low ferritin. Excess iron is harmful.
