Hello, thnx to contact HCM. Yes anemia can cause the symptoms in the question. Even eating chalk is very bad thing for her. If I am the treating doctor of her I advice you to start the injectable iron supplements to recover her from such a anemia. Even if possible give him one blood transfusion. Than start the injectable iron treatment. If you require anymore information please contact me. Dr. Arun Tank
