Introduction
Anemia is a disease that affects mostly women. It results in a decreased concentration of red blood cells (erythrocytes) and/or red blood pigment (hemoglobin) in the blood. The cause is usually iron deficiency, but chronic blood loss and other blood formation disorders can also be the cause of the symptoms.
Typically, symptoms such as tiredness, paleness and headaches occur. The treatment consists of the therapy of the underlying disease, often iron in the form of tablets or drops must be taken additionally. The consequences of anaemia are mainly based on a difficult oxygen transport, so that deficiency symptoms occur in different areas of the body.

The Vertigo
Dizziness is a very unspecific symptom that can indicate diseases of various organs. Common causes of anemia are an undersupply of blood and oxygen to the brain and excessive strain on the cardiovascular system. Anemia is often caused by a reduced amount of hemoglobin and erythrocytes (red blood cells).
Hemoglobin is responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. This transport is disturbed by anemia, so that there may be a lack of oxygen in several organs. The brain reacts particularly sensitively to the reduced amount of oxygen.
This can initially lead to concentration difficulties, headaches and dizziness. The dizziness is usually the result of a defective regulation of different areas of the brain among themselves. If individual areas of the brain are permanently undersupplied, the brain cells can die.
Due to the anemia, the cardiovascular system must also work harder. This can lead to a reduced blood flow. If the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, dizziness and even fainting spells can occur due to a lack of blood and nutrients.
