Hops.ID – Hypoxia is a condition when a person’s body tissues don’t have enough oxygen.
Any condition that reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood or restricts blood flow can cause hypoxia.
Often people who have a history of lung disease or heart disease have a tendency to develop hypoxia later in life.
