I am currently having issues with chronic anemia. I have all symptoms connecting me with anemia. Fatigue, headaches, insomnia overall I do not feel well. No strength in my legs I cannot stand for very long. I have had a transfusion of 2 pints of blood so far and am taking 3 iron tablets a day. So I am starting to feel a little better. One thing I notice is I smell smoke! Its the weirdest thing I thought it was just from my house but I smell it every where. What do you think that would be. I know it is connected because right after my transfusion I did not smell it. But of course the transfusion didn t last long.
This symptom is called Prussia. This has nothing to do with iron deficiency or blood transfusion. Often it occurs because of infections in nose or upper respiratory tract. Please consult a ENT surgeon. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. With regards,
