What Is Anemia?
7. Symptoms
The lack of oxygenated blood flowing through the body can mean that the patient’s body will have difficulty producing enough energy. This will likely cause them to feel weak and fatigued much of the time. Anemia will also likely cause the patient’s skin to become yellow and paler in color.
A lack of oxygen in the blood will also likely mean the patient is short of breath, and they will sometimes feel lightheaded. Headaches are also a potential symptom, as is a pain in the chest, and an irregular heartbeat. Anemia will also sometimes cause the patient to sometimes have cold hands and feet.
