When someone is anemic, their body may not receive enough oxygen to function properly. This can lead to a range of symptoms, which may include:
Due to a reduced oxygen supply, individuals with anemia often feel tired and lacking in energy.
The body tries to compensate for the lack of oxygen by increasing the respiratory rate, resulting in breathlessness.
Anemia can cause the heart to work harder to supply oxygen to the body, leading to a faster or irregular heartbeat.
Insufficient oxygen delivery to the brain can cause feelings of dizziness or faintness.
Reduced blood flow to the extremities can make hands and feet feel colder than usual.
Anemia may cause nails to become weak and brittle, and hair to become thin and prone to breakage.
