It is happening Anemia When you don’t have enough red blood cells or when your red blood cells don’t work as well as they should, red blood cells carry oxygen around your body. Oxygen powers your cells and gives you energy.
Without healthy red blood cells to function, your body doesn’t get the energy it needs to function. While some types of anemia are short-term and mild, others can last a lifetime. If left untreated, anemia can be life-threatening.
According to the clevelandclinic website, the symptoms of anemia are:
Shortness of breath is the feeling that you can’t catch your breath or take a deep breath.
Dizziness: This feeling of lightheadedness or unsteadiness on your feet.
Fast or irregular heartbeat This is when your heart feels like it’s racing or skipping a beat.
A pounding or “wheezing” sound in your ear. This is an intermittent sound in one of your ears that may come and go.
Headache: Iron deficiency anemia and anemia caused by low hemoglobin may cause headaches.
Pale or yellow skin: Your complexion may be lighter than usual.
Chest pain: You may feel as if something is squeezing or squeezing your chest.
People may be born with certain types of anemia or become anemic because they have certain chronic diseases. But a poor diet causes iron deficiency anemia, which is the most common form of anemia.
You can’t prevent some types of anemia, such as sickle cell anemia, hemolytic anemia, or aplastic anemia. Chronically ill people who may develop anemia should monitor for symptoms of anemia. You can prevent nutritional anemia by eating a healthy diet.
Your prognosis or expected outcome depends on why you have anemia, what type of anemia you have, and whether you have a severe form of it. Most of the time, health care providers can treat anemia by helping you manage your diet or take medications. But there are times when you may be anemic for the rest of your life.
While some types of anemia are short-term and mild, others can last a lifetime. There are several ways to help manage anemia, including:
Follow a healthy diet: Poor diet is the main reason why people get anemia. Ask your healthcare provider what iron-rich foods and other foods you should eat.
Drink enough water to stay hydrated.
Get regular exercise. Check with your healthcare provider about ways to exercise safely.
Avoid exposure to certain chemicals. Exposure to certain metals may lead to hemolytic anemia.
Wash your hands often to avoid infection. You may also want to ask your healthcare provider about vaccines that protect against common infections.
Take good care of your teeth and go to the dentist regularly: iron deficiency anemia may cause dental problems.
Track your symptoms and notify your healthcare provider of any changes
