Anemia Brochure

Anemia affects the cardiovascular and nervous systems. It causes low oxygen levels in vital organs like the heart, resulting in breathing problems and heart failure. Low hemoglobin also prevents sufficient oxygen from reaching the brain, causing blood vessels to swell and headaches or neurological issues. Anemia occurs when the body does not produce enough red blood cells to transport oxygen, such as from blood loss or nutritional deficiencies. Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, headaches, and irritability. Treatment focuses on the underlying cause through supplements, medicines, or blood transfusions to replenish iron and red blood cells.
