10 Symptoms of Anemia
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #4: Dizziness
In anemia, patients may feel dizzy as there is not enough hemoglobin to carry and deliver the oxygen to the tissues in the body. Dizziness occurs when there is a decreased amount of oxygen to the brain. The treatment of the dizziness will depend on the underlying cause of anemia.
If it is due to a nutritional deficiency, supplements can be prescribed. In those with reduced production, drugs that stimulate the production of red blood cells can be prescribed. Excessive dizziness can be serious as it can cause falls and other injuries. Seek prompt medical care.
