Anemia -O2 capacity: HI! Your symptoms due to anemia - low blood iron or vitamin B deficiency - cna reduce your hemaglobin and therefore oxygen carrying ability of blood. Under use of muscles if these do not get sufficient O2 ( oxygen ), supply then cramping can result. Be advised that there can be other causes for cramping so further medical evaluation is advised.
