Suggest Treatment For Anemia

I have a elderly freind that is showing all the sighns of anemia and the local community center has given him tests for it. The results won't be in for 2 weeks. What sighns should I look for to know when to take him to the hospital in the mean time. He is having labored breathing and cold hands and feet, pale. He said he is afraid to go to the hospital as he is afraid they will turn him away.

He should take treatment of anemia. Go for Complete blood count, peropheral smear examination & anemia profile. Then take treatment according to cause. He may have iron or vit b12 deficiency or other cause. Consult your doctor and start treatment as early as possible.
