Are Lightheaded,high BP,shallow Breathing And Rapid Heartbeat Correlated To Anemia?
I ve been having waves of lightheadedness and an increase in blood pressure. It gives me shallow breathing and a rapid heartbeat. I m only 22. It s been happening for two days. I had some iron deficiencies when I was pregnant two years ago. Do these symptoms sound like anemia?
