Constant Fatigue or Shortness of Breath? Get a Complete Anemia Evaluation
Feeling tired all the time is often blamed on stress or age — but it can be a sign of anemia. Anemia is not just one condition; it can come from iron deficiency, B12 or folate deficiency, chronic disease or even hidden blood loss.

Common Symptoms of Anemia
Finding the Cause Matters More Than the Number
Anaemia is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Simply taking iron tablets without knowing the cause can mask serious underlying problems — from heavy periods to gastrointestinal bleeding to colon cancer. A complete workup identifies the specific type of anemia and its root cause, so treatment is targeted and effective.
Iron Deficiency
The most common cause, often from menstrual blood loss, GI bleeding or poor dietary intake.
B12 & Folate Deficiency
Common in vegetarians and older adults, causing macrocytic anemia and nerve symptoms.
Chronic Disease & Blood Loss
Kidney disease, hypothyroidism, chronic infections or hidden GI bleeding.
Your Anemia Evaluation Journey
Clinical Assessment
Detailed history including diet, menstrual history, bleeding and family history.
Complete Blood Workup
CBC, iron studies, B12, folate, reticulocyte count and peripheral smear.
Underlying Cause Search
Stool occult blood, endoscopy, ultrasound or other tests as guided by findings.
Targeted Treatment
Correct supplementation and monitoring until haemoglobin and stores are normalised.
Treat the Cause, Not Just the Number
Iron tablets without a diagnosis can delay detection of a serious problem. Our evaluation ensures the right treatment — whether that means iron, B12, treating an ulcer or investigating bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on anemia symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatment.
callSpeak with our care teamAnemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or the haemoglobin level is lower than normal, reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen to tissues.
Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness, cold hands and feet, and sometimes palpitations.
Common causes include iron deficiency (often from blood loss), vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, chronic diseases, kidney disease and inherited disorders such as thalassemia.
Diagnosis begins with a complete blood count (CBC). Further tests include iron studies, vitamin B12, folate, reticulocyte count, stool for occult blood and, when indicated, endoscopy or bone marrow studies.
Treatment depends on the cause. Iron deficiency is treated with oral or IV iron; B12 deficiency with B12 injections; hemolytic or other anemias require specific management. Finding and treating the underlying cause is essential.
A balanced diet rich in iron, vitamin B12 and folate helps prevent nutritional anemia. Regular health checks help identify anemia early, especially in women, pregnant women and older adults.
With appropriate treatment, haemoglobin levels often improve within weeks, though complete recovery may take 3 to 6 months. Response depends on the cause and severity.
Coverage depends on your policy. Evaluation and treatment of anemia, including hospitalisation if needed, is usually covered. Contact the hospital desk to confirm details.
