What is anemia? How is it caused? Red blood cells in the blood supply oxygen to various tissues and organs throughout the body, and it becomes anemia when there are too few red blood cells to supply enough oxygen to the tissues. This is when the heart works harder, making you feel like your heart is beating or beating fast. Anemia can make you feel short of breath, weak, dizzy, blurry-eyed and noticeably lethargic. Some chemotherapy treatments can cause anemia by suppressing blood production in the bone marrow. Solutions Get enough rest Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep each night, and 1 or 2 short (1 hour or less) naps during the day Decrease your activities to only do the most important and necessary others’ help Have a relative or friend help with childcare, errands, shopping, housework, etc., or hire a babysitter to do the chores Balance your diet Consume enough calories and protein; calories maintain your weight, and protein supplementation can help repair the treatment’s damage to the body. Talk to your doctor, nurse, or dietitian about the right diet for you. (To learn more, see the section on “Appetite Changes.”) Stand up slowly. If you stand up too quickly, you may get dizzy. Your doctor and nurses will check your blood during chemotherapy and give you a blood transfusion if your anemia is severe. Your doctor will also give you medicines to boost red blood cell growth, oral iron, and vitamins to speed up the correction of your anemia. Contact your doctor or nurse if you have any of the following problems: Increased weakness, or daily tasks that you can do are now strenuous, feeling dizzy to faint,7 feeling short of breath, feeling panicky, or having an unusually fast heart rate. Second, several blood replenishment food 1, red dates: red dates, silver fungus, brown sugar cooked, once a day to replenish blood effectively. 2, longan: that is, “cinnamon”, in addition to rich in iron, but also contains vitamin A, B and glucose, sucrose and so on. Blood also treat forgetfulness, palpitations, neurasthenia and insomnia. 3, spinach: the famous blood food, spinach is rich in iron, carotene, so spinach can be considered an important food in the blood vegetables. If you don’t like to eat carrots, then eat more vegetables. 4, pig liver: boiled, fried, stewed can be, three, anemia medication 1, supplemental iron: oral appropriate, ferrous sulfate, 0, 3 grams each time, l ~ 3 times a day; ferrous fumarate, 0, 2 grams each time, 3 times a day. Taken during or after meals. If the patient has difficulty in taking iron orally, it can be replaced by intramuscular injection of iron supplementation, and the relevant indications, drugs, dosage and so on are detailed in the relevant books. Iron deficiency reduces hemoglobin, and small-cell hypochromic anemia will be formed. 2.Supplementation of vitamin B12: vitamin B12 is the main coenzyme of DNA synthesis, and its deficiency can cause delayed cell division, resulting in anemia. In addition to infants, pregnant women, many people over the age of 50 are deficient in this vitamin. Vitamin B12 deficiency causes the typical symptoms of anemia, fatigue, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Vitamin B12 is mainly found in animal foods, including meat and dairy products, therefore, should eat some meat and dairy products, you can obtain enough vitamin B12. 3, supplement vitamin C: Although iron from vegetables, fruits and cereals is difficult to absorb, but vitamin C can improve the absorption of these foods up to 85%, vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron in food. 4, supplement folic acid: folic acid has been proved to be involved in DNA synthesis, and its lack of the same can cause red blood cell division retardation and anemia. Appropriate use during pregnancy can prevent birth defects. Green leafy vegetables and cereals contain folic acid. Patients with anemia can take folic acid supplements under medical supervision. It should be noted that: (1) When taking ferrous sulfate orally, about 10% of the patients feel upset stomach, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, in this case, you can pause to take the medicine, and reapply after the symptoms disappear. If the above symptoms still occur, it can be changed to take polysaccharide iron complex or intramuscular injection of iron dextrose. (2) Taking iron after meals can reduce gastrointestinal reactions. Tea and coffee are prohibited 1 hour before taking the medicine to prevent the formation of insoluble complexes and affect absorption. (3) Adhere to the full amount of medication. Oral iron while taking vitamin C, can promote the absorption of iron. In the process of taking iron, the color of stool can become black, no need to be nervous, after stopping the drug can return to normal. (4) 3 weeks after the drug did not reduce the symptoms, should promptly contact the doctor to further identify the cause, do not take the initiative to increase the dose of the drug, in order to avoid iron poisoning.
