Anemia is a condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, leading to reduced oxygen transport. You might experience fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include iron supplements, vitamin B12 injections, or blood transfusions. Dietary adjustments and addressing underlying medical conditions are crucial factors in managing anemia.
