Anaemia is occurs when a person has less than normal red blood cell in the blood or when the red blood cells in the blood lacks enough haemoglobin. It affects more women than men and people with chronic diseases.
Anaemia can be caused by heavy blood loss, trauma, diseases and the body's inability to make red blood cells. It can also be caused by iron and vitamin B12 deficiency. It can be mild, in which case a person does not feel any symptom. It can be moderate or severe.
Some common signs of anaemia includes;
Tiredness and loss of energy
Chest pain
Rapid/Fast heart rate especially with exertion or after exercises
Difficulty breathing
Headaches
Difficulty concentrating
Dizziness
Pale skin
Leg cramps
Trouble sleeping at night
In severe cases seizures
Abdominal pain
Jaundice
Brown or red urine
Cold hands and feet
Low body temperature
Irritable feeling
If anaemia is left untreated it can lead to organ and tissue damage. It can also lead to heart disease. If you or your family members are experiencing symptoms of anaemia, visit your doctor and get checked. Anaemia can be treated by treating underlying cause, making dietary changed and the use of supplements.
