Fatigue
People with iron deficiency anemia tend to feel very tired. It is estimated that up to 50 percent of the cases experience this symptom. The effect can be attributed to the role of iron in producing hemoglobin. When the body does not have sufficient blood to carry oxygen, muscles, and tissues in important parts will not have enough energy to operate as usual. In addition, the heart needs to beat harder to compensate for the deficiency, which makes you exhausted. However, it can be hard to diagnose iron deficiency anemia based on this symptom as fatigue is a normal part of our daily life. Make sure to notice other signs and discuss it with your doctor to ensure better results. [2]
