What Is Anemia?
8. Complications
Anemia doesn’t always cause serious symptoms and many patients will live relatively normal lives. Some patients will develop severe complications from the condition, however. One of these is that the patient can develop severe fatigue to the point where they find it difficult to work and perform other important tasks.
Anemia will also sometimes lead to heart failure, or an enlarged heart, both of which have the potential to be serious. Women who are pregnant need to be careful because anemia had the potential to cause severe complications with the pregnancy. In the more severe cases, anemia can even be fatal.
