I’ve had quite heavy bright red bleeding every time I’ve had a bowel movement for about 6 weeks now - I’ve been referred to the colorectal clinic so I’m trying not to worry as I think (hope) the cause is internal hemorrioids as I’ve had them banded in the past.
My worry is I think I’m getting low on iron. Recently I’ve been exhausted and noticed my hair shedding. I’ve had headache for almost a week now, it isn’t blinding but it’s always there. Since last night I feel really dizzy, exhausted and short of breath.
is it worth going to a&e on a Friday night? Or should I just start taking iron tablets (I haven’t been as I worried it might cause constipation and make the bleeding worse) and would they be able to do anything even if the cause of my symptoms is my iron being very low due to the bleeding?
