Symptoms
The signs and symptoms of anemia can vary, depending on the cause. If the anemia is caused by a chronic disease, the disease can mask the symptoms of anemia, so anemia can be detected when tests are done for another disease.
Depending on its causes, you may not have symptoms of anemia. Signs and symptoms, if they occur, include:
Exhaustion
Weakness
Paleness or yellowing of the skin
- Arrhythmia
- shortness of breath
Vertigo or dizziness
Source
Cold hands and feet
Headache
At first, the anemia may be too mild to be noticed. However, symptoms get worse as the anemia increases.
