What is Anemia?

Anemia refers to a low number of red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to the body. Anemia affects about 3.5 million Americans.

Anemia usually is caused by a lack of iron. The body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and organs. Anemia can cause you to feel:

  • Weak
  • Dizzy
  • Cold
  • Pale
  • Shortness of breath
  • Difficulty thinking
