Simple Health Checks You Can Do at Home

The anemia test

Anemia causes fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, a fast heartbeat and trouble breathing. It results from a lacking of red blood cells, which can cause reduced oxygen flow to the body’s organs. If you think you may be anemic, stand in front of a mirror and press on your lower eyelid to lower it down. Typically, the color of your under-eye ball should be pink—if it’s pale pink or of a yellow tint (and you have those other symptoms) you may be anemic.
