Anemia is a disorder where there is not enough hemoglobin in the blood. Why would this disorder lead to shortness of breath?

Anemia is a medical condition that occurs when your blood doesn't have enough red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the organs in your body. If you don't have enough red blood cells, your body doesn't get enough oxygen. This may cause you to feel tired or shortness of breath.
