Anemia results from a lack of red blood cells or dysfunctional red blood cells in the body. This leads to reduced oxygen flow to the body's organs.
Symptoms may include:
fatigue
skin pallor (pale/yellowish skin)
shortness of breath
lightheadness
dizziness
fast heartbeat
Irregular heartbeat
Chest pain
Cold hands and feet
Headaches
Left untreated, anemia can cause many health problems, such as:
Severe fatigue. When anemia is severe enough, you may be so tired that you can't complete everyday tasks.
Pregnancy complications. Pregnant women with folate deficiency anemia may be more likely to experience complications, such as premature birth.
Heart problems. Anemia can lead to a rapid or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). When you're anemic your heart must pump more blood to compensate for the lack of oxygen in the blood. This can lead to an enlarged heart or heart failure.
Death. Some inherited anemias, such as sickle cell anemia, can be serious and lead to life-threatening complications. Losing a lot of blood quickly results in acute, severe anemia and can be fatal. In cases, it can be progressed towards leukemia..
Iron deficiency and exercise can go together, as it is very possible for anemia athletes to continue working out with a few modifications. Athletes should incorporate more aerobic exercise into their workouts because this type of exercise helps red blood cells be transported efficiently to muscle tissue.
However, aerobic exercises, such as swimming, running and biking, can help anemic women better deal with the condition. ... Keep in mind, however, that if you are anemic, you should speak with your doctor about whether it is safe to exercise and if not when.
