General symptoms of anaemia may include:
Fatigue, tiredness, lethargy
Breathing difficulties on exercise
Dizziness
Palpitations
Angina (chest tightness on exercise)
Leg pains
Pale complexion.
Depending on the underlying cause of the anaemia, other symptoms may also develop and can include:
Unusual cravings for specific foods
Painful cracks at the corners of the mouth
Difficulty swallowing
Brittle and spoon shaped nails
Loss of sense of touch, 'pins and needles' sensation
Jaundice (yellow colouring of the skin)
Abdominal pain
Spontaneous bleeding under the skin or from the gums, nose, vagina or anus
Black stools, or blood present in your excrement.
One or more of these symptoms or signs may indicate anaemia. However, the only way to establish whether you have anaemia for certain is to consult your GP and have a blood test to measure your haemoglobin level.
