Is anemia dangerous

Anemia is defined as having a lower than normal red blood cell (RBC) count, size, or function. It is not an uncommon problem, and it can usually be treated.

Your RBCs contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein that carries oxygen throughout your body.

When you don’t have enough of these cells, or when they’re not functioning as they should, you can feel low in energy, and you may also have other symptoms, such as feeling cold all the time, headaches, and dizziness.

Usually, anemia develops gradually, and people sometimes get used to the effects until the symptoms suddenly get substantially worse.
