some patients with anemia have no symptoms. others with anemia may: feel tired. fatigue easily. appear pale. develop palpitations (feeling of heart racing). become short of breath. additional symptoms may include: hair loss. malaise (general sense of feeling unwell). worsening of heart problems. it is worth noting that if anemia is longstanding (chronic anemia) the body may adjust to low oxygen levels and the individual may not feel different unless the anemia becomes severe. on the other hand if the anemia occurs rapidly (acute anemia) the patient may experience significant symptoms relatively quickly.
