Check this out: There are many diseases and conditions which cause your body to produce fewer red blood cells than normal such as vitamin deficiency anemia, leukemia, aplastic anemia, cancer, certain medications, and hypothyroidism among others. You should get this checked out further with lab testing to try to focus in on the cause of your problem. Have a great day!
