Hi,
Looking at all the symptoms and the lab diagnosis, it definitely correlates.
Anemia leads to reduced oxygen supply to tissues resulting in tiredness.
As the heart tries to pump more blood so that more oxygen reaches to tissues, it could like to angina, heart attack and if chronic anemia, heart failure.
dizziness is due to less oxygen reaching the brain.
If you are having so many symptoms, you must have moderate to severe anemia.
Meet your doctor at the earliest.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
