Main clinical symptoms of low blood pressure and anemia: general fatigue, pale complexion, heart palpitations and shortness of breath, cerebral ischemia causing dizziness and vertigo, insomnia and frequent dreams; some patients may also experience loss of appetite, indigestion, and other symptoms. Low blood pressure and anemia are not the same disease, and their clinical treatments differ. Low blood pressure is caused by excessively low blood pressure leading to ischemia above the brain, and the treatment should aim to increase blood volume and elevate blood pressure. Anemia is caused by a reduction in hemoglobin, leading to ischemia and hypoxia in the body, and treatment should involve supplementation of nutrients and the essential trace elements that are lacking, which should be treated seriously.

Which department should I go to for anemia?

Anemia is classified as a hematological disease and requires further diagnosis and treatment in the department of hematology. In severe cases of anemia, the body can be in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, which can induce the occurrence of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as acute angina and cerebral thrombosis. Therefore, patients with acute anemia need to have red blood cell transfusions to support treatment and correct the anemia. If the anemia is not severe, red blood cell transfusion is not necessary, but it is important to complete tests like anemia indicators, bone marrow aspiration, and bone marrow biopsy to further clarify the cause of the anemia and treat it accordingly.

Iron deficiency anemia is what type of anemia?

Iron deficiency anemia refers to the anemia that occurs when the body's stored iron is depleted and cannot meet the needs for normal red blood cell production. Before the production of red blood cells is limited, the body's stored iron has already been exhausted. However, at this stage, the routine blood tests may not yet show obvious signs of anemia; this condition is then referred to as iron deficiency. The characteristics of iron deficiency anemia include a lack of stainable iron in the bone marrow and other tissues, as well as reduced serum ferritin and transferrin saturation, presenting as typical microcytic hypochromic anemia. Therefore, iron deficiency anemia is a type of microcytic hypochromic anemia and is classified according to the level of marrow proliferation as a hyperproliferative anemia.
