People with normocytic anemia may also notice that their hands and feet are often cold, even in warm environments. This symptom can be attributed to poor circulation, which is a result of the body’s inability to deliver adequate oxygen to its tissues.
When the body lacks sufficient red blood cells, it struggles to distribute oxygen-rich blood efficiently, leading to reduced circulation. As a result, extremities such as hands and feet may feel cold or numb.
Cold hands and feet can be uncomfortable and affect a person’s daily activities. It is essential to seek medical advice if you experience this symptom, as it could be a sign of normocytic anemia or other circulation-related issues. (5)
