Signs of anemia can be veiled.
Anemia is a syndrome that appears due to the reduction of hemoglobin in the blood while reducing the number of red blood cells, writes the Chronicle.Info with reference to the Correspondent.
The causes of anemia may be several, but most often it appears due to poor nutrition. When there is insufficient consumption of foods with iron can occur iron deficiency anemia.
In case of violation of absorption of iron in the body can also develop anemia.
In people with ongoing blood loss is almost always a low level of hemoglobin in the blood. Chronic blood loss is one of the main reasons for such a state.
Signs of anemia:
Major symptoms of low hemoglobin in the blood is excessive irritability, fatigue, drowsiness, weakness. These symptoms can significantly affect human performance.
People suffering from chronic anaemia, complain of headache, flashing “flies” before the eyes, dizziness and frequent pain in different areas of the head.
Also people with iron deficiency in the blood may experience an inexplicable desire to eat chalk, have shortness of breath not only during exercise but also at rest. They have thinning hair, weak nails and dry skin.
With dramatically low number of red blood cells in the blood people may complain of pain in the heart, which is similar to pain during a heart attack. Common symptoms of this disease are also noise in the ears, body aches and muscle weakness, fainting.
Older people who also suffer from coronary heart disease, even after a small stress on the body can experience the symptoms of a heart attack.
If you notice several of these symptoms, it may mean reducing the level of hemoglobin in the blood. In this case, you need to consult a doctor and undergo a General blood test for determining the number of erythrocytes and level of hemoglobin in the blood.
It is important to know that anemia is of several types:
1. Iron-deficiency anemia. It develops as a result of numerous bleeding or poor nutrition.
2. Hemolytic anemia develops for different reasons: heredity, frequent stress and hypothermia.
3. Pernicious anemia may develop as a result of a lack of absorption into the blood of vitamin B12. This disease is characteristic of elderly people.
4. Anemia in pregnant women. Most often pregnant women suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Normal hemoglobin should exceed 110 g/l. At lower figures pregnant recommend to pay attention to proper nutrition or the consumption of iron supplements.
