Anemia happens when you do not have enough red blood cells. The cells travel with iron and hemoglobin, which is a protein that helps carry oxygen through the bloodstream to your organs all through the body.
ANEMIA SIGNS
When someone develops anemia, they are said to be “anemic.” Being anemic might mean that you feel more tired or cold than you usually do, or if your skin seems too pale. This is due to your organs not receiving the oxygen they need to do their jobs. The most common types of anemia are aplastic anemia, iron deficiency anemia, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and vitamin deficiency anemia.
SYMPTOMS OF ANEMIA
Anemia signs and symptoms vary depending on the cause. If the anemia is caused by a chronic disease, the disease can mask them, so that the anemia might be detected by tests for another condition. Depending on the causes of your anemia, you might have no symptoms. Signs and symptoms, if they do occur, might include fatigue, weakness, pale or yellowish skin, irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, dizziness or lightheadedness, chest pain, cold hands and feet, and headaches.
TREATMENT OF ANEMIA
Anemia treatment depends on the cause. Treatment for iron deficiency anemia usually involves taking iron supplements and changing your diet. Treatment for folic acid and vitamin C deficiency involves dietary supplements and increasing these nutrients in your diet. Treatment for aplastic anemia can include blood transfusions to boost levels of red blood cells. Treatment for sickle cell anemia might include oxygen, pain relievers, and oral and intravenous fluids to reduce pain and prevent complications. Most forms of thalassemia are mild and require no treatment.
