What is Anemia?
Anemia is a disorder where the body's tissues don't receive enough oxygen due to a lack of healthy red blood cells. There are several types of anemia with various causes, the most common being iron-deficiency anemia, which results from insufficient iron. Iron is needed to produce hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that helps carry oxygen.
Typical Symptoms of Anemia
- Feel unsteady or floating when I am standing
- Dizziness
- Low red blood cell count on blood test
- Black, shiny stool
- Vomiting blood
- Feel lightheaded
- Currently pregnant
- Premenstrual symptoms like discomfort and irritability
Diagnostic Questions for Anemia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you feel dizzy or floaty when standing?
- Do you feel dizzy?
- Do you have a low red blood cell count on your blood test?
- Have you had black, shiny stools?
- Have you vomited blood?
Treatment of Anemia
Treatment for anemia depends on the cause. In cases of iron deficiency anemia, iron may be taken orally as supplements or injected into the vein. Severe cases of anemia may require blood transfusions. Dietary modifications are necessary.
