Question Posted Saturday February 23 2008, 10:45 am
my boyfriend told me i should see a cardiologist because i'm pail. Before he told me i always thought i might have something wrong with my heart but i dont know. What will they do if i choose to go see one, and can you give me some symtoms if there is any?
Check your lips, tongue and the palms of the hands. Unless they have gone abnormally pale, then you are just naturally pale, not sickly pale.
If you aren't eating eating well or drinking enough, anemia might be causing some paleness, but the truth is that most teenage girls are at least a little bit anemic and it can be solved by making sure you drink enough fluids and get enough portien and iron in your diet.
Don't worry about a cardiologist, see your family doctor for a normal check up. They will send you to a cardiologist if you need one, but if paleness is your only sympotom, you probably don't.
