Have Anemia. Feel Fatigue, Headache, Light Headed, Less Energy. Possibility Of Internal Bleeding. What Are Its Symptoms?

My doctor said I have anemia. Negative results from a CBC are RBC count 3.67, hemoglobin 9.8, hemocrit 30.2. She also said that I may have internal bleeding. How do I know?? Symptoms are slight fatique, headache, light headed in the AM, and not as much energy as I am used to. I can t get in to see her for 3 weeks. I guess I am attempting to diagnose myself??? What are the signs and symptoms of internal bleeding?

thanks for your query
I have gone through your problem in detail
the cause fir your anemia could be either decreased production of rbc or excess loss of blood
to differentiate these two you need get tested for peripheral smear and reticulocyte count
Internal bleeding is most commonly from gastro intestinal tract to check for it you shoud get tested for stool for occult blood
wish you good health
