Anemia is a condition where there arent enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to the bodys organs. Symptoms of anemia can vary depending on the severity and type of anemia, but some common symptoms include:

• Tiredness
• Weakness
• Shortness of breath
• Pale or yellowish skin, which might be more obvious on white skin than on black or brown skin
• Irregular heartbeat
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Chest pain
• Cold hands and feet
• Headaches

In addition to these symptoms, some people may experience brittle nails, mouth ulcers, loss of sexual interest, increased menstrual bleeding (for women), an inflamed or sore tongue, getting lightheaded when standing up, pale skin color, and pica syndrome (the desire to eat non-food things such as ice) . In severe cases, anemia can lead to symptoms such as blue color to the whites of the eyes.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to make an appointment with your healthcare provider to determine the cause of your anemia and receive appropriate treatment.
