Can Regular Iron Deficiency Anemia Be Life-threatening?
My sister has a bad case of Anemia that she needs iron shots. Iron pills aren’t enough to build up the iron level and hemoglobin in her blood. That’s how bad it is. I know that Aplastic and Sickel Cell are life-threatening. The Iron Deficiency Anemia I know causes fatigue, listlessness, pallor, shortness of breath, nausea, and lightheadedness. I think it can either cause congestive heart failure or cardiac arrest if not treated. Do you know if it can become really dangerous?
