Anemia is caused by the lack of iron or red blood cells in the body. It may also be caused by lack of hemoglobin or the inability of hemoglobin to bind oxygen and deliver it to the organs of the body. There are a multitude of types of anemia and the symptoms vary accordingly. Sometimes, anemia is associated with underlying medical conditions such as ulcers, menstrual problems or even cancer.

People with mild anemia or anemia which developed over a long period of time might not notice symptoms because the body has the incredible ability to compensate for early anemia.

Although different types of anemia present different kinds of anemia symptoms, they still have some general or universal symptoms. These are sometimes difficult to identify because they are normally experienced without any severe medical condition. However, these anemia symptoms are great indicators that you should consult a doctor regarding anemia. Some of the common symptoms for different types of anemia are fatigue, dizziness, pale skin, leg cramps, insomnia and difficulty concentrating. Unusually rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath and headache especially when exercising or doing physical activities is also common in anemic people.
