The inside of my lower eyelid is a little yellow?!
Question: Does that mean that I am lacking iron? Sometimes I feel faint but other than that I feel fine.
Answers: Does that mean that I am lacking iron? Sometimes I feel faint but other than that I feel fine.
Normal eyelids can have a yellowish appearance due to the presence of a layer of fats. Iron deficiencies, tend to cause loss of color - not a yellow tint, so a whitish-pink color would be more indicative of an iron deficiency. Feeling faint can be a sign of iron deficiency, but is is more commonly caused by low blood sugars or low blood pressure.
If you are worried about an iron deficiency, get an iron supplement from the grocery store and start taking it. If you see a change in your eyelid color and feelings of faintness in few days, you have solved the problem.
sounds like a bruise. Did you bump into anything.
Lack of iron usually causes people to easily bruise so it may be an old bruise. Ask your doctor to do some blood work on you and check your iron levels.
could be jaundice too. I would have a liver check done just to be sure.
