A member asked:
Is headache common in anemic patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usual cause: If anemia became quite severe, possible that delivery of oxygen to brain would fall, prompting auto-regulation to dilate blood vessels as a response and that might cause a headache reaction. Typically, mild anemia does not cause headaches. Migraine itself far more common, and perhaps reason for your question.
