Just wondering about Low Iron?!
Question: Just wondering about Low Iron?
Are these all symptoms of the low iron? or symptoms of the medication? I was on Iron Pills.
I still am. My iron was at a low of 86 when I was diagnosed, and it is now up to 126. Normal is 120. I am a 20 year old female if that has anything to do with it. Soon to be 21 in April.

Hello. Your iron levels are totally fine. If you are having all these symptoms, it could be from something else. Some of the symptoms you listed, are not common symptoms when one has low iron. Maybe you need some blood work to determine if there's something else going on. I know many people with iron counts lower then 126, and they are fine. Your symptoms do indicate an anxiety problem. I've had anxiety for almost my whole life, and you have all the symptoms of it, especially the heart palpitations, panic attacks, and waking up a lot in the middle of the night. Those are all common symptoms that one gets when they have bad anxiety. Take care.
