Anemia is also known as lack of blood. When a person has anemia, he or she doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells in their blood or he or she has dysfunctional red blood cells. Eventually, this causes the body’s organs to suffer from lack of oxygen. Anemia requires a diagnosis by a healthcare professional, in which he or she will perform lab tests and imaging tests. Anemia is also treatable, but must be monitored by a healthcare professional to determine its state. Anemia symptoms may also signify other conditions or diseases, so it’s important to be professionally diagnosed. The most common symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, fast heartbeat, and lightheadedness. These symptoms of weakness mimic the weakness of oxygen levels in the body.
