Is anemia fatal

Anemia is caused by low iron and low blood levels. The iron in your blood allows oxygen to bind to your red blood cells to transport it to the cells of your body. If you are lacking iron and red blood cells, your body has less transporters to take oxygen to your cells, including your brain cells. This can cause you to feel dizzy because your brain isn't getting as much oxygen as it needs to be.

If you are anemic and feeling dizzy, please see your doctor. Your oxygen levels could be low and you may need to start a treatment regimen to raise your iron and blood levels.

Hemoglobin is the part of the red blood cell that grabs the oxygen and transports it throughout the body. If it gets too low, the body won't be able to get enough oxygen, and can't function.
