Iron Deficiency Anaemia

What is Iron Deficiency Anaemia?

When levels of iron stored in the body become low enough to compromise the body's ability to produce hemoglobin, iron deficiency anaemia can set in. Iron deficiency anaemia is when the body's iron stores are completely depleted. When the body does not get enough iron, it is unable to make sufficient red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen throughout the body. People with mild or moderate iron-deficiency anemia may not have any symptoms but if left untreated, it can lead to health problems.

Symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia include:

1

Extreme fatigue

2

Weakness

3

Pale Skin

4

Chest pain, fast heartbeat or shortness of breath

5

Headache, dizziness or light-headedness

6

Cold hands and feet

7

Inflammation or soreness of your tongue

8

Brittle nails

9

Unusual cravings

for non-nutritive substances, such as ice, dirt or clothing starch

10

Poor appetite
