The severity of anaemia can vary greatly from person to person. In its mildest form, the person will hardly notice that they are anaemic, they may just feel slightly more tired than usual. In its most severe form, if left untreated it can lead to death although this is very rare.
Usually people suffering from anaemia will be somewhere in the middle and experience symptoms such as tiredness and weakness, dizziness, headaches and shortness of breath. However, with a good diet and treatment (which will depend on the type of anaemia) these symptoms can usually be controlled.

∙ 15y agoAnemia deals with the blood which helps get oxygen to your brain and directly deals with the heart. In short, yes anemia is serious. If your hemoglobin gets under 8, seek medical attention. I have a moderate form of anemia. My hemoglobin is 9.2 but sometimes I get really low energy and feel it more than others. I am supposed to be on Iron pills because of this and probably will be for the rest of my life. The iron causes constipation which causes more pain and distress. It's a viscious cycle of having to take pills for the rest of my life. My doctor said that if I don't I will have to have blood transfusions which honestly I don't want. So I take my iron pills hoping my hemoglobin goes up. But if your doctor tells you to go on iron, defintaely take them. This is a serious disease and should not be taken lightly. Make sure you find out the cause and reason for your anemia too. This means being prodded with needles but in the end if it saves your life, it's worth it in the long run. Hope this helps. This is coming from someone who directly deals with this and has for the entirety of her life so trust me. Good luck and take care.

∙ 13y agoAnemia is a very bad condition as Anemia is a condition that means your body is very lacking in red blood cells. You need red blood cells to live as when you breath in Oxygen, the red blood cells in your body gather the Oxygen and carry it to different parts of your body, keeping you breathing and your organs functioning.

∙ 13y agoYes, Anemia can be a bad condition if you have a very bad case of it, as it is when your body is lacking in red blood cells or they break down easily, depriving you of Oxygen.
