Sign #2: Shortness of Breath
As our blood is pumped around the body, it carries oxygen to wherever it is needed. The blood will then continue to be pumped around the body until it has done a full circuit. It will return to the lungs, pick up more oxygen, and the cycle is repeated.
All this relies on our red blood cells that are able to carry the oxygen. If we don’t have enough red blood cells, or if there is not enough iron in the body, our blood is not able to carry as much oxygen as it usually would. This can leave us feeling out of breath as the body works to get more oxygen into the system.
