Which of the following is NOT a symptom of anemia?

Correct option is A

Ans: (a) Elevated blood pressure Sol. Elevated blood pressure is not a typical symptom of anemia. Anemia generally results in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and other signs of insufficient oxygen in the body. High blood pressure is usually associated with cardiovascular conditions, not anemia.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Elevated blood pressure: Correct answer. Elevated blood pressure is generally not associated with anemia. In fact, anemia may lead to low blood pressure due to a decrease in the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity.
· (b) Pale skin: Pale skin is a common symptom of anemia, as reduced red blood cells or hemoglobin can result in less oxygen being delivered to tissues, leading to a paler appearance.
· (c) Weakness: Weakness is a common symptom of anemia. It occurs because the body is not getting enough oxygen, leading to fatigue and a lack of energy.
· (d) Brittle nails: Brittle nails are another symptom of anemia, particularly in cases of iron-deficiency anemia, where the nails may become weak and break easily.
