Anemia
Anemia is a condition in which there is a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, leading to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, and cold hands or feet. It can be caused by various factors, such as iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, chronic diseases, or blood loss. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include dietary changes, supplements, or medical interventions.
