Is Nausea Is A Symptom Of Anemia?
Yes, I m recovering from hip replacement surgery (4/29/14). I have noticed I seem to be more tired than usual. My doctor thought I looked pale and Yesterday I had blood taken and am waiting for the results. Since my surgery I also have less of appetite ( but I make sure to eat, I have lost 6 lbs. I need to lose weight any way.) I also experience slight nausea off and on and I wonder if that is a symptom of anemia. Before surgery I went back into Afib which I had some years ago but had an ablation which lasted several years. I will be having a cardio version in a few weeks. Most of all I wonder if nausea is a symptom of anemia.
