Anemia: Know the Warning Signs Before You Ignore Them | Dr Amey
Always feeling tired, weak or breathless? Don't ignore the signs.
Anemia occurs when your blood has too few healthy red blood cells or insufficient hemoglobin to carry enough oxygen to your body's tissues.
Some common warning signs include:
• Persistent tiredness or weakness
• Dizziness or light-headedness
• Shortness of breath, especially during activity
• Headaches
• Pale skin
• Cold hands and feet
• Fast or irregular heartbeat
Iron deficiency is a common cause of anemia, but anemia can also result from vitamin deficiencies, blood loss, chronic diseases and other conditions.
If these symptoms are persistent, don't simply assume it's "just weakness." A medical evaluation and appropriate blood tests can help identify the cause. And avoid taking iron supplements without medical advice—the right treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Your symptoms are trying to tell you something. Listen to your body.
