Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -People with mild or moderate iron-deficiency anemia may not have any symptoms. More serious iron-deficiency anemia may cause common symptoms of anemia, such as tiredness, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Other symptoms include: Fatigue.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you have anemia, your body does not get enough oxygen-rich blood. The lack of oxygen can make you feel tired or weak. You may also have shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, or an irregular heartbeat.

Detailed explanation-3: -With anemia, the lungs overcompensate in order to bring in more oxygen, causing breathing difficulties. Low levels of hemoglobin prevent adequate oxygen from reaching the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your body needs iron to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that gives the red color to blood. It carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Anemia has three main causes: blood loss, lack of red blood cell production, and high rates of red blood cell destruction.
