Yes, shortness of breathe at night or morning can indicate that you might have anemia. Get a blood test done to confirm the same.
Shortness of breathe (dyspnea) occurs when you are trying too hard to breathe and there is a feeling that you need to breathe deeper and faster due to shortage of oxygen. It is usually experienced if you are living with COPD, asthma or lung disorders.
Anemia does have prominent symptoms such as fatigue and pale skin which indicates low hemoglobin count. However, it is recommended to get a CBC test done to diagnose anemia.
Humid air is dense, due to the high water content. This density can increase airway resistance in the body. Due to this one might find breathing difficult especially in humid climate.
Anemia causes shortness of breathe because the oxygen carrying capacity of cells decreases and this results in rapid heartbeats and breathelessness.
