7 SIGNS OF IRON DEFICIENCY YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

1. FATIGUE - If you feel tired and exhausted even after proper rest, this could be a sign of iron deficiency.

2. SHORTNESS OF BREATH - Being short of breath during light physical activity may be a sign of iron deficiency.

3. PALE SKIN - Decreased oxygen flow (low levels of red blood cells) can cause paleness of the skin. If you notice your skin is paler than usual, this might be a sign of iron deficiency.

4. FREQUENT HEADAHCES - if you experience frequent headaches or dizziness, this may be a sign that your iron levels are low.

5. COLD HANDS AND FEET - Cold hands and feet may be a sign of poor blood circulation arising from iron deficiency.

6. RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME - if you experience uncomfortable sensations in your legs especially at night, this may be from low iron levels.

7. BRITTLE NAILS - If your nails are starting to become weak or brittle, this may be a sign of iron deficiency.

If you experience any of these signs, see your Doctor and organise a pathology test to check your iron levels.
