Im 32 and weigh over 350lbs, recently I noticed my blood is lighter in color, brighter, almost orange.  I am relatively healthy aside from the normal aches and pains my weight causes.  I wanted to see if there is a reason for lighter blood or perhaps a change in diet due to having moved home? (yay home cooked meals lol)
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Lighter orange colored blood could be due to anemia.2. Evaluation of hemoglobin is necessary for further confirmation. Get a complete hologram. Aches and pains along with fatigue is commonly due to anemia. 3. If you are suspecting a diet change and nutritional deficiency, iron studies along with it b12 and folic acid assay would be necessary. Discuss with your doctor regarding getting these tests done along with a complete hologram. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
