What Is Anemia?

What Are The Symptoms Of Anemia?

Many symptoms of anemia are common, regardless of the specific type of anemia present in a patient. Common symptoms indicating anemia include persistent fatigue and lethargy without another discernable cause, pale skin, chronic shortness of breath, chest pain, and heartbeat abnormalities (e.g. too fast or otherwise irregular). Patients dealing with anemia or many types often also complain of often feeling cold, particularly in the extremities. They may also find they often feel lightheaded or dizzy, particularly when exerting energy and when changing positions quickly (e.g. standing up too quickly). Other warning signs to look out for include fainting, brittle nails, enlarged lymph nodes, and issues with blood pressure.
