Anemia Support Group

Anemia (or anaemia), which literally means "without blood," is a deficiency of red blood cells and/or hemoglobin. This results in a reduced ability of blood to transfer oxygen to the tissues, and this causes hypoxia; since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences.

Not entirely sure how to help.:/ All I know is that anemia is iron deficiency which can be serious. :/ Though I don't know how to help, I do know how to listen, so if you ever need someone to talk to I am here for you.:) I hope your dad is ok.

Anemia is the most common disorder of the blood. The several kinds of anemia are produced by a variety of underlying causes

It can be classified in a variety of ways, based on the morphology of RBCs, underlying etiologic mechanisms, and discernible clinical spectra, to mention a few

The three main classes include excessive blood loss (acutely such as a hemorrhage or chronically through low-volume loss), excessive blood cell destruction (hemolysis) or deficient red blood cell production (ineffective hematopoiesis).

The above was referenced via Wikipedia, I would suggest you google search anemia, and symptoms of to help assist you in finding the answer to your specific question.

And by the way, worrying about it serves no useful purpose whatsoever, so simply stop doing so.
