This is very vague. If u have symptoms like lethargy or you feel sleepy all day or u get breathless soon , these may point towards anemia but only symptoms aren't adequate for a proper diagnosis. U can get a complete blood count done in any of the pathology laboratories near you , its very cheap and quick. Kindly let me know the result .
