Actually, yes yaar. When my iron levels crashed, I used to feel super dizzy and sometimes throw up out of nowhere. It's because your brain isn't getting enough oxygen, so do get a CBC test done soon.
I totally get it, feeling constantly sick to your stomach is incredibly exhausting and frustrating. Anemia can cause severe weakness and dizziness which leads to vomiting, so please be gentle on yourself. Take plenty of rest and try to see a doctor for some relief.
Vomiting due to anemia usually points to a severe drop in hemoglobin or blood pressure. Since you can't work properly like this, don't waste time on self-remedies. Book a home blood collection online today and consult a doctor tomorrow with the reports.
Yes, I have thyroid issues and anemia often tags along, causing severe gastric issues and nausea. You should get regular thyroid and complete blood count (CBC) tests done every few months. Regular doctor follow-ups are crucial to keep these symptoms under control.
Haan, low iron and B12 can cause vomiting and severe weakness, especially if you are on a strict vegetarian diet. However, if you are throwing up, don't force heavy iron-rich foods like beet juice or spinach right now as they might upset your stomach more. Let your stomach settle first and check with your doctor.
I know how terrifying it is when you start vomiting and think something is seriously wrong with your body. Yes, severe anemia can trigger nausea and vomiting due to less oxygen flow, but it's very manageable. Please don't panic, just take a deep breath and let a physician look into your iron levels.
