All people with anemia have abnormally low count of red blood cells or low concentrations of hemoglobin in their blood stream. This can be caused by a large number of factors, with the most common being: a form of blood loss (ex: traumatic injury), decreased or abnormal red blood cell reproduction (ex: sickle cell anemia), or a destruction of blood cells (ex: infection). People with anemia also experience common symptoms, such as: fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, pale skin, and an unusually rapid heart beat.
