Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. No, anemia does not cause blood shot eyes.
2. Anemia can lead to chest pain due to increased workload on heart.
3. You need to meet an opthalmologist if you have no injury around the eye area. Need to rule out local causes related to eye.
4. Anemia correction is necessary. A complete hemogram is necessary to identify the cause. Vit B12, folic acid and iron supplements can be started. For more specific opinion, further details are necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
