I don't think anemia is directly life threatening, but it can cause other problems. In a severe case of anemia, you may need a blood transfusion.
If you think you have it, you should go to a doctor. There are several different types; each varying in degree of seriousness.
your red blood cells are not carrying enough haemoglobin (iron) around with them, thus low haemaglobulin resulting in anaemia.
It can be life threatening if your levels go under 9mmols, (can affect your organs) following a blood test, answer transfusion of blood.

Low iron in the blood. You're very tired with no energy all the time.
In the medical generic term, anemia means that the blood is unable to carry enough oxygen for the body's cells. There are a number of different types of anemia and only your doctor can diagnosis which kind of anemia you have and prescribe an appropriate treatment.
