Symptoms Of Aplastic Anemia

Fatigue And Shortness Of Breath

Fatigue is a prevalent symptom of aplastic anemia as well as other types of anemia. Someone with aplastic anemia may feel more fatigued or short of breath than normal during or after exercise or from doing simple everyday activities. A healthy individual typically would not get winded doing chores, running errands or walking up a flight of stairs. However, someone with aplastic anemia will often feel fatigued or short of breath after these activities because they do not have the proper amount of blood cells to transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Though these may seem like minor symptoms, fatigue and shortness of breath can negatively affect aplastic anemia patients’ quality of life. Someone with these symptoms should go to the doctor to figure out what might be going on.
