The red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from lungs to different tissues. When for any reason reduces the number of red blood cells, also decreases the oxygen supply to the various organs of our body, causing the sensation of fatigue so characteristic of anemia.
1. When to see a doctor?
The main symptom of anemia is fatigue, but it may manifest in other ways, such as weakness, pallor and irritability.
Sometimes that lack of oxygen in the tissues of the body itself compensates by increasing the rate of blood circulation, causing mild tachycardia and blood pressure rises. You can also accelerate the process of making oxygen, manifesting wheezing and rapid breathing.
Other symptoms of anemia: dizziness, insomnia, chest pain, numbness or coldness in hands and feet and headaches. These symptoms can be mild, but as they also worsen the disease worse.
Of course, before a significant loss of blood, we should also see a doctor to determine whether this lack of hemoglobin can cause hypoxia, lack of tissue oxygenation.
