10 Signs of Being Anemic

Sign #5: Rapid Heartbeat
Having a rapid heartbeat is not necessarily something that you should be concerned about. It usually occurs after some type of physical exertion as the body tries to meet the increased demand for oxygen. The heartbeat will usually return to normal once the body has had some time to rest.
If your heart is beating rapidly without a good reason, however, then it can be a sign that something is wrong. Indeed, it is a potential sign that you have anemia. The increased heart rate occurs because the lower concentration of oxygen in the blood means the heart has to work harder in order for sufficient oxygen to be pumped around the body.
