4. Paleness
There are a number of symptoms caused by anemia. These include a pale coloration of the skin, which is a result of low red blood cell count. Another symptom is that the patient might feel cold when others are warm and they may get out of breath easily.
Note that there are other potential causes of anemia. One such cause is low dietary iron, so it is important to check that this is not responsible.
Other conditions such as kidney disease and thyroid problems can also trigger anemia. Women with heavy menstrual cycles might notice that they lose a lot of blood and thus suffer symptoms of anemia.
