I just looked on Google about being able to tell if you are anemic by looking at your lower eyelid and it showed pictures. I think mine look that. I spoke with my primary care physician and he said, stay off Google and checking your eyelid is very non-specific. I am going to have blood drawn tomorrow. Please talk me through, so I don't Google or go down the what if path.
Need to calm down

Do you have any other symptoms? How old are you if you don't mind my asking? I have anemia. I am told any low iron is considered anemic. I went through the same exact thing you did when they told me I was anemic. Especially after I googled why one could be anemic!
I am 67. I really don't have any other symptoms. I exercise everyday, don't have shortness of breath, just had normal colonoscopy. I do have LPR and sinus issues. I just sent a picture of my eyelid to Justanswer, and dr. On there said it looked mildly anemic. I really don't eat a balanced diet and am under a lot of stress.

I would say not to worry too much! Let your doctor do your blood work and go from therr!there! Have a feeling you are fine!

That's awesome!! Google is definitely not our friend!
I'm not saying you are like this, but I've "learned" that lesson countless times. And somehow...
I am really trying to stop and am doing somewhat better.
Good for you. It's important to recognize your progress.
