Is Loss Of Appetite A Common Symptom Of Anemia?
I have been diagnosed with anemia and am on iron tablets one a day for a month before having another blood test. I have not been well sincer February with various cold and chest infection - I have had various antibiotics. I seem to have lost my appetite and, although I am hungry when I get the food on my plate I can't eat it all - is this part of the anemia?

Hi
With your query, as such anemia won't result in loss of appetite instead it is vice versa.you have mentioned that you're under antibiotic coverage for longtime this could be the another reason for anemia. Whatever it is gud you are under iron therapy and also be on iron containing diet like green leafy vegetables, fruits and pluses.Finally, anemia will not result in loss of appetite whereas loss of appetite results in anemia so kindly consume iron rich diet well.hope your doubt is clear.
