Anemia Management

There are many different causes of anemia, and it is important to know as well as understand what type you are experiencing in order to receive proper treatment. This might include iron deficiency anemia, chronic disease anemia, and hemolytic anemias, among many others. Symptoms often include fatigue, pale or yellowish skin, shortness of breath, chest pain, headache, cold hands/feet, irregular heartbeats, weakness, and dizziness.

Be sure to make an appointment with your doctor as soon as you notice you’re feeling fatigued for unknown reasons. Anemia typically occurs when your blood doesn’t contain enough red blood cells, which can be due to your body destroying red blood cells or excessive bleeding. Sometimes, your body simply may not be producing enough for you to comfortably function.
