sue1234 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 In my reading on my ever-present issue of vasodilation, I ran into this article today. I never knew anemia could cause vasodilation, even though, in theory, I did realize that hypoxia could cause vasodilation in an effort to get more oxygen to the body.http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/short/40/4/493 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks for sharing. Apparently it is only in cases of severe anemia where this is the case. Helpful to be aware. I was severely anemic after birth of my daughter (massive blood loss) and maybe this could help explain why I was so very sick postpartum....
