Is it Anemia? 10 Key Symptoms You Shouldn't Overlook

Fatigue

Unexplained tiredness and a constant feeling of weakness, often the first noticeable symptom of anemia.

1

Paleness

Noticeable paleness of the skin, especially in the face and inner lining of the lower eyelids.

2

Shortness of Breath

Breathlessness and a rapid heartbeat, particularly during physical activities, as the body struggles to transport sufficient oxygen.

3

Dizziness

Feeling dizzy or lightheaded, especially when standing up, due to reduced oxygen flow to the brain.

4

Cold Hands and Feet

Persistent coldness in the extremities, a result of decreased blood circulation and oxygen delivery.

5

Frequent headaches, often caused by insufficient oxygen reaching the brain.

6

Irritability

Unexplained irritability or difficulty in concentrating, impacting daily tasks and cognitive function.

7

Chest Pain

Chest pain or angina, particularly in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions, as the heart works harder to compensate for decreased oxygen levels.

8

Brittle Nails and Pale Skin

Brittle, spoon-shaped nails and pale skin are physical indicators of anemia.

9
