I don't know all the symptoms, but I've heard that if you like to chew ice you could be anemic.......do you?

The most common symptoms of anemia are;
Fatigue, breathlessness, paleness (could be skin, around the gums,nailbeds, lining of the lower eye lids, lightheadedness, and abdominal pain.
Anemia is bascially either your red blood cells, or the amount of heamaglobin (oxygen carrying protein) in your red blood cells is low. Heamaglobin is a protein that carries oxygen in your red blood cells.
There are different types of anemia, so a simple blood test will define what type of anemia a person suffers from.
In my case, im iron deficent, but my mum has pernicous anemia (inability to store vitamin b12).
Best to have bloods done by your doc to see if this is the problem.
Good luck
