Anemia : Overview, Symptoms, Causes, Types, and Dietary Guidelines

Irregular Heart Rate

Tissues and muscles take oxygen from the blood supplied by the heart through regular pumping of blood in the body. Due to a deficiency of RBCs, the heart has to work extra to meet the demand for oxygen. As a result, the heart has to beat at a fast rate than usual. Abnormally fast heart rate can lead to an enlarged heart and even heart attack in severe cases.
