Some of the primary symptoms of Anemia

These are some of the primary symptoms found in most cases of anemia;

• Paleness
• Constant background headache
• Tiredness and shortness of breath
• Dizziness or light headedness
• Heart palpitations and chest pain even after very little effort.
• Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
• Restless leg syndrome (an uncontrollable urge to move legs)

One peculiar symptom called pica is associated with iron-deficiency anemia. The symptoms include the desire to eat unusual things, such as ice, clay, cardboard, paint, or starch. This has been noticed in animals for decades, which may be a result of iron and other mineral deficiencies of soils.
