What are some signs/symptoms of anemia?!


Question: What Are the Symptoms of Anemia?

The symptoms of anemia will vary according to the type of anemia, the underlying cause and your underlying health problems. Anemia may be associated with other medical conditions such as hemorrhage, ulcers, menstrual problems or cancer -- and specific symptoms of those conditions may be noticed first.

Symptoms common to many types of anemia are:

The body also has a remarkable ability to compensate for early anemia. If your anemia is mild or developed over a long period of time, you may not notice any symptoms.

Easy fatigue and loss of energy.
Unusually rapid heart beat, particularly with exercise.
Shortness of breath and headache, particularly with exercise.
Difficulty concentrating.

maybe you could have some prblems

One of the symptoms is either lack of ability to sleep or constant need of sleep.

Yellow/whitened skin with redness happening, blushing, cold, faint or dizzy sometimes, overly hungry for foods that don't make sense (ice cream...then peaches...then cereal...etc.) Tired. Distractible. Forgetful.

:D

more difficult to find the energy to do normal activities if you have anemia. Other signs and symptoms of anemia include:

Shortness of breath
Dizziness
Headache
Coldness in the hands and feet
Pale skin
Chest pain
All of these signs and symptoms can occur because your heart has to work harder to pump more oxygen-rich blood through the body.

In some cases of anemia, a rapid or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) may occur. Over time, this arrhythmia can damage your heart, causing it to enlarge and possibly resulting in heart failure. Anemia can damage other organs in your body because the blood cannot deliver enough oxygen to them.

Anemia can result from some diseases, and it can make other diseases worse. For example, some cancer treatments may damage the bone marrow that makes red blood cells or damage these cells
