Hello thanx for using hcm,
Anaemia usually results when you have imbalanced diet deficient in iron, folic acid, vit b12.
Consume iron rich diet along with vitc rich sources.Foods like lean meats,liver chicken, fish, egg, greenleafy vegetables,beans , prunes,raisins, apricots, iron fortified cereals helps you to regain iron needed by the body.
vit c helps in iron absorption of plant sources .
As your haemoglobin improves symptoms like tiredness, shortness of breath disappear slowly.
