To keep the body healthy, it is important to have better blood circulation to all the organs. But what if there is a lack of blood in someone's body?
Anemia is a common problem, its risk has been seen more in Indian women. Anemia means a lack of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein present in our red blood cells. Its deficiency impedes the circulation of oxygen in the organs. Persistent lack of hemoglobin causes anemia, which can have many types of health side effects.
There can be many reasons for low hemoglobin levels in the body. Lack of nutrients in the diet, any type of underlying health problem, menstruation in women are also responsible for this risk. Continuously lower than normal hemoglobin levels can increase the risk of many types of diseases. Let's know about the health problems caused by it?
What should be the level of hemoglobin?
The normal level of hemoglobin is different in men and women. For men, the normal level is between 14.0 to 17.5 g/dL, while for women the normal level is between 12.3 to 15.3 g/dL. A hemoglobin level of less than 13 g/dL in men and 12 g/dL in women is considered harmful.
Health experts say that a hemoglobin level that remains consistently below normal can cause many health problems. Let's know about its side effects.
Frequently there is a problem of fatigue, weakness and headache
Anemia can occur due to lack of hemoglobin in the body, due to which there is often a problem of fatigue, weakness and headache. Even after getting a good night's sleep, you may feel tired and weak. You may experience weakness even after doing mild physical activity. Headaches due to anemia are also a common problem. If such problems persist for some time, then definitely consult a doctor in time.
There may be irregularity in heart rate
Haemoglobin also plays an important role in delivering oxygen to the tissues and organs of the body and in removing carbon dioxide. In such a situation, due to the hemoglobin level remaining less than normal in the body, there can be a negative effect on heart health. People suffering from lack of hemoglobin may have problems of irregularity in heart rate, less or more than normal heartbeats. If irregularity in heart rate is not taken care of in time, then it can lead to many types of health complications.
Difficulty in breathing
Due to lack of hemoglobin, oxygen does not reach the tissues and organs of the body properly. Actually, due to low hemoglobin levels, its ability to carry oxygen is affected, due to which there may be difficulty in breathing even after doing light work. Many people may have difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath even at rest due to anemia.
