Anaemia is a condition characterized by too little haemoglobin or too few red blood cells in the blood. It is considered a symptom of an underlying disease or condition rather than a disease itself.
A person leading a sedentary life may have a moderate degree of anaemia and yet be free of symptoms, though these develop if unaccustomed exercise is done. As anaemia often develops very slowly, the patient may gradually, unconsciously reduce physical activity to a lower level.
Common symptoms are: skin pallor, fatigue, weakness, fainting spells, breathlessness on exertion, palpitations or increased awareness of your heartbeat, sore mouth or tongue, headache, lack of appetite, loss of hair and tingling in hands and feet.
