6. Weight loss
Roughly half of the patients with pernicious anemia present with weight loss of approximately 10lbs (4.5 kg) to 15lbs (6.8kg). This can probably be attributed to appetite loss.
These patients can also experience heartburn, nausea, vomiting, a sense of fullness, and flatulence. However, there are many other causes of weight loss. Be sure to seek medical attention if you experience unintentional weight loss during a short period.
