Symptom 6. Sideroblastic Anemia: Headaches
Headaches are another common symptom experienced by individuals with sideroblastic anemia. These headaches are typically a result of reduced oxygen delivery to the brain and may vary in intensity and duration.
Some individuals may experience tension-type headaches, characterized by a dull, aching pain on both sides of the head. Others may suffer from more severe migraines, which can cause throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
It is essential to track the frequency and severity of headaches and discuss them with a healthcare professional. In some cases, headaches may indicate a more severe underlying issue or require specific treatment to manage the pain effectively. (6)
