Anemia
Mar 6, 2007

Does having anemia lower your metabolism?

Response from Dr. Frascino

Hello,

No, not exactly. Anemia is a decrease in the number of red blood cells. With fewer of them there is less oxygen in your blood. That, in turn, can make you feel tired and weak as well as cause a host of other symptoms.
