Symptom 6: Headaches
Headaches are another symptom that may be experienced by individuals with normocytic anemia. These headaches can range from mild to severe and can be particularly bothersome for those affected.
The cause of headaches in people with normocytic anemia is the reduced oxygen supply to the brain. Insufficient oxygen can lead to blood vessels in the brain narrowing or constricting, which may result in headaches.
It is important to monitor the frequency and severity of headaches and consult a healthcare professional if they persist or worsen. In some cases, headaches may be indicative of normocytic anemia or other underlying health conditions that require treatment. (6)
