Do you tend to breathe heavily when climbing staircases? Do you have an urge to taste sand, holy ash, writing sticks, etc.? Do you feel tired all the time?
If your answers to all the above questions is ‘Yes’, it is almost confirmed that you have anaemia.
The most general cause of anemia is the deficiency of iron. When there is a shortage of iron, people tend to get anaemia.
Iron deficiency, taking analgesic medicine, ulcer in the gut and colon, and cancer are the main reasons for prolonged blood loss.
As for the women, menstruation, pregnancy, unhealthy eating habits and avoiding non-vegetarian food items are some of the reasons for getting anaemia.
Prolonged anaemia can lead to severe heart problems, growth deficiency in children, and the birth of children with some disorders/defects in pregnancy.
