@drjunaidpainclinic: *Signs & Symptoms of Iron Deficiency – ∼170 words* Iron helps make hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in your blood. When you’re low, your body and brain feel it. *Common physical signs:* 1. *Fatigue + weakness* – most common. You feel tired even with enough sleep. 2. *Pale skin, lips, gums, inner eyelids* – less red blood cells. 3. *Shortness of breath* and *dizziness* with light activity or standing up fast. 4. *Cold hands and feet* – poor circulation. 5. *Brittle nails, hair loss* 6. *Headaches* and trouble concentrating, "brain fog" *Other symptoms to watch:* - *Pica*: cravings for ice, dirt, or non-food items - *Restless legs*, especially at night - *Sore tongue* or cracks at mouth corners - *Frequent infections* – low iron can weaken immunity - *Heart palpitations* in more severe cases *Who’s at higher risk*: Heavy periods, pregnancy, vegetarians/vegans, frequent blood donors, and people with gut issues like celiac or ulcers. This is general info. If you have several of these, a simple blood test for ferritin and CBC can confirm it. Talk to a doctor before starting iron supplements because too much can also be harmful.
