Anemia is a common pathological condition.
Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues.
There are many forms of anemia, each with its own cause. Anemia can be temporary or long term, and it can range from mild to severe. See your doctor if you suspect that you have anemia. It can be a warning sign of serious illness.
There are different types of anemia: Aplastic anemia, Iron deficiency anemia, Sickle cell anemia, Thalassemia, Vitamin deficiency anemia.
Anemia signs and symptoms vary depending on the cause. Patients mostly complain about:
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Pale or yellowish skin
- Irregular heartbeats
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Chest pain
- Cold hands and feet
- Headaches
At first, anemia can be so mild that you don't notice it. But symptoms worsen as anemia worsens.
Timely diagnosis and adequate management of anemia is essential. Losing a lot of blood quickly results in acute, severe anemia and can be fatal.
