Understanding Anemia
Anemia is a condition in which your body doesn’t produce enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your tissues. This can lead to persistent fatigue, weakness, and a lack of energy that affects your daily functioning. Anemia isn’t a disease itself it’s a sign of an underlying problem such as iron deficiency, chronic disease, or vitamin deficiencies. At Baytown Internal Medicine, we focus on identifying the root cause of anemia and providing effective treatment tailored to each patient’s needs.
Symptoms and Underlying Causes
Anemia can manifest in various ways depending on its cause and severity. Common symptoms include tiredness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, cold hands and feet, and chest pain in severe cases. Causes range from iron or vitamin B12 deficiency, chronic illnesses like kidney disease or inflammatory conditions, to internal bleeding or bone marrow disorders. If you experience these symptoms regularly, it’s important to seek professional care and get your blood levels tested to avoid complications.
How We Diagnose and Treat Anemia
At Baytown Internal Medicine, we start with a complete medical history and blood tests including a complete blood count (CBC), iron panel, and vitamin levels to determine the type and cause of anemia. Once diagnosed, treatment may include dietary changes, iron or vitamin supplements, medications to stimulate red blood cell production, or addressing the root cause, such as managing chronic disease. For patients with severe anemia, procedures like blood transfusions or specialist referrals may be recommended. Our approach is always personalized and designed to restore your energy and long-term health.
