Pernicious Anemia Diagnosis

Answered by a doctor

My doc told me I had pernicious anemia, but when I looked it up, I realized I had not even been tested for it. The thing is I had a severe lack of B12, so I wonder why doctors can't just say it like it is. I tested positive for Celiac so probably that's why I have the B12 issues.

Answered by a doctor

Lately I feel dizzy when I get up. I guess it can be due blood pressure, although I never had blood pressure problems before. I had measured BP and it was 100/ 60. Is this too low? Could this be a reason for my dizziness?

signs of hypertension

Answered by a doctor

What are the usual symptoms of high blood pressure? I measured it yesterday and it was 90/140 mmHg. I did it just because my friend did it too. Maybe it was because of 3 cups of coffee that I had before that. I have no symptoms, I feel healthy at all. Should I visit my doctor?
