10 Signs of Being Anemic
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Sign #7: Dizziness
Our brains are very powerful organs. As with other powerful machines, they need to be fed with a lot of energy to keep them going. Where our brains are concerned, this means nutrients and oxygen. If the oxygen was lacking, then the brain would struggle to operate at normal levels.
Hold your breath for too long and you will soon begin to feel dizzy. This is because of the drop in oxygen reaching your body, and the same effect happens when people have anemia. With less oxygen in the blood, less is sent to the brain, so patients will often complain that they feel lightheaded.
