How likely are we to faint/collapse with anemia?

[fishdoc]

My boss has been really good about not making me travel the last few months... but he's really gearing me up for the fall season.  I have to do a long day tomorrow, 8 hours of driving, plus a 5 hour meeting.  I have to walk quite a ways... my HBG is sitting at 11.8, three weeks ago, but I feel like can mans sitting on my chest, I get light headed really easy.... my question: how do you know when its not light headed, I am going to collapse on the nasty streets of albuquerque, and nobody I'm with is big enough to carry me??  Seriously, does anything help?  I keep thinking "if I eat something, I'll feel better"... wrong.... Open to suggestions from other anemic travelers...

also, how often do we really just "pass out".... I would be mortified..

Sorry to the way your feeling.  What your doing through is what happened to me when my hgb was low, I increased the procrit and took B-12 shots.  You might be lower then the 11.8 of 3 weeks ago.  I would have your HGB checked, if around 10.0 you might be ready for procrit.  Hope you are resting enough.
