Symptom 9. Severe Anemia in Women: Headaches
Advertisements

Headaches are another common symptom of severe anemia in women. The reduced oxygen supply to the brain due to a low red blood cell count can lead to headaches ranging from mild to severe.

Women with severe anemia may experience frequent headaches that are unresponsive to over-the-counter pain relievers. These headaches can further exacerbate fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

If you suffer from unexplained, persistent headaches, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional to determine if severe anemia could be the underlying cause. Proper diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate headaches and improve overall well-being. (7)
