Answers:
Its likely!. I had the same thing!. Iron tablets are strong for some reason and react badly to some people!. Try switching brands (unless its a scrip - then have it lowered)!. It sucks - been there!. Only other thing you can do is to try to find a liquid brand of it!. I dont know if they even make that but its worth a shot!. Good luck - anemia isn't fun but hopefully you'll manage it quickly without the nausea!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
yes it might be the iron tablet
Iron supplements that are chewable should help!. Start by only chewing up a half of one and use a citrus chaser (I use lemon)!. As you build up your ability to deal with that, add a little more until you can chew up the whole pill without problems!. Iron is such a heavy metal that just a little feels like you swallowed a skillet! I hope that this helps you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Probably!. It's a well known side effect!. Ask your doctor to try you on a different type of iron tablet (there are several)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
