Symptoms
of Anemia
Anemia is one of those conditions that can
sometimes be difficult to identify, because in the beginning, the symptoms may
be mild. Complicating things even further, sometimes anemia symptoms are
mistaken for those of certain diseases or medication side effects. It is quite
common for people to either ignore anemia symptoms or attribute them to other
causes.
Major anemia symptoms are:
- Extreme fatigue
- Weakness
- Shortness of breath
- Loss of concentration
- Dizziness
- Depression
- Rapid heart beat
- Pale skin
Anemia is a blood condition. Anemia is caused by a lower number of
red blood cells, which is measured by a drop-off in the amount of
hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the red pigment in red blood cells that
transports oxygen throughout the body. Oxygen is fuel for the
human body, just as gas is fuel for an automobile. With lower
amounts of Oxygen, fuel, you will begin to see signs of extreme
fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, concentration problems, and
paleness in the skin.
