when yur anemic, it means that u will not be able to got proper amounts of oxygen to the cells of the body. what happens is that there is a problem with the red blood cells. so its recommended to see a doctor, cause there is going to be problems with the hemoglobin...where it will not oxygenate all the cells. If the case is really bad, then it can potentially become fatal. it all depends on the severity of the case.

Nope you can't die but your energy levels go way down. (I'm 13 and was diagnosed last week) I take Iron supplements and have to eat alot of broccoli. It was so serious before I was diagnosed that I would only be able to stay awake for 5 hours max. One time in school I was walking to the bathroom talking to my crush (who was going to a diff. bathroom!) and I got sooo dizzy and I passed out....very embarassing!! LoL just do what the doctors say and you'll be fine..

just means your body isn't producing enough iron...they just take a pill for it and call it a day. I would imagine it could be fatally harmful over a period of time if not properly treated.

you take iron supplements and change your diet
BUT there are severe forms such as Sickle Cell that are deadly - just go with your doctors advice
