Anemia Sign #10: Chest Pain
The heart needs to have a constant supply of freshly oxygenated blood just as the rest of the body does. It is a muscle, after all, and one that is working hard 24/7. If it does not get what it needs then you could be in a dangerous situation and you will often feel it when all is not right.
The lack of oxygen flowing to the heart can result in quite severe chest pains. This is something that should not be taken lightly and is a sign that the anemia has reached a very serious stage. Chest pains can be a sign of some very serious conditions, such as a heart attack, so the patient should be taken to an emergency room straight away.
