There are over 3 million people affected by anemia each year in the US.  It can lead to reduced oxygen flow to the body’s organs.  There are over 400 types of anemia that are divided into 3 groups: anemia caused by blood loss, anemia caused by decreased or faulty red blood cell production, and anemia caused by destruction of red blood cells.

Symptoms may include fatigue, skin pallor, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, cold hands and feet, or a fast heartbeat.  Treatments include iron supplements to help with iron deficiency, vitamin B supplements for low vitamin levels, blood transfusions for blood loss, bone marrow transplants, painkillers, antibiotics, and surgery.

One of the worst types of anemia is sickle cell anemia.  Sickle cell anemia is when the cells die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood cells and can block blood flow causing pain (sickle cell crisis).  Symptoms of sickle cell anemia include infection, pain, and fatigue. Treatments for sickle cell anemia include medications, blood transfusions, and bone-marrow transplants.
