My treating doctors were incredulous, how could an otherwise healthy woman who had not been bleeding (I did not get my period at that time so yes, you could say this was not healthy) become so severely anemic? Anemia and Iron Deficiency: Background and Prevalence This was profound anemia severe enough to get me admitted to the hospital.
Eventually the blood tests came back and my hemoglobin was 5.8 g/dL (normal is 12.1 to 15.1 in women, as shown in Figure 6 below) and my hematocrit was 19% (normal is 37 to 48% for women). The doctor who saw me also wondered about my liver function since I was very yellow-colored. My systolic blood pressure was in the 160s (normally it was in the 90s). Well sure, I was scared, but I didn’t think I was having a panic attack. The staff wondered if I was having a panic attack. That afternoon, I went directly from class to the walk-in clinic of our medical school. As much as I wanted to believe nothing was wrong, as much as I wanted to avoid going to see a doctor, I realized I could not live like this.
Then, I had barely been able to muster a jog, and if I did, I felt my heart pounding in my chest, even skipping beats. But in the last couple of weeks, my daily runs had been getting really tough. I was a runner who regularly logged 70 to 80 miles a week without really getting winded. If I walked, I was so short of breath that I felt like I might die. I could not walk even four blocks to get to medical school–it was that bad.
