Anemia: Anemia is a condition in which your body does not produce enough healthy red blood cells, or your blood cells do not have enough hemoglobin. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath, and headaches. It can also result in B12 deficiency, which can cause trouble with energy and thinking. There are multiple possible causes, but anemia can cause permanent damage if not treated.

Type ; cause: It is very important to know what kind of anemia and what causes it. Iron deficiency is one of the main causes but there are others: vitamin b12/folate deficiency, chronic disease like infection or cancer, genetic conditions, certain medications, toxins, etc. Consulting with your doctor or a hematologist for proper testing and diagnosis is a must before starting any treatment.
