There are a lot of health conditions that many people do suffer from but in this article today we will be focusing on Anaemia which is the result of a shortage of blood. This is a condition where a person would be having a lack of blood in the body and it can be caused by many things.
Lack of iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid in the body can be the cause of anemia that occurs when a person’s blood doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells. This is problematic because red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the body’s tissues.
Well, you must be asking yourself how does one see that someone has a shortage of blood without having to consult a doctor? Well, it is very easy and we will give you some symptoms to look out for in this regard.

2. Weakness
A person who is weak and does not have any energy should worry especially if this is happening at constant intervals.
3. Pale or yellowish skin
This is one of the most traditional ways that is used to check the level of blood. Most people would check the palm of the hand and it should be redush in color if all is well. But if you see the hand is pale, start to get notes.
