Q & A: Iron Deficiency

[Doodlebuggie95]

Alright doc! I need your advice! I've always had trouble with keeping iron and I got my period on the 20th of June and that threw me for a loop. Since then, I've been exhausted, dizzy, weak, pale, heart palpatations, trouble concentrating, and loss of apetite and a small amount of weight. Is that iron deficiantcy anemia?

Does anyone what the right dose of Iron is for a supplement? i get confused over what's not enough, and what is too much.

[katalina125]

thanks for your video. I take iron supplents because I am anemic and I've been anemic for such a long time but iron supplemets cause me constipation even when I take lots of fiber in my food is there anything I can do to keep on taking iron and not be always concerned about being constipated?

[JustmeKasie]

u could try taking ur iron pills w/ drinks high in vitamin c such as orange juice or tomato juice

@mariamfayez: Have you tried a naturopathic approach?

[Alize101586]

Can you be short of breath too because lately I've noticed that when I'm on my period I have shortness of breath.

[JustmeKasie]

yes, u can hav rapid heart beats also

I'm also a vegetarian and have the cracks\!No wonder. I knew about all the other symptoms except the cracks. That explains a lot. I am suffering from iron deficiency anemia

[openstar42]

Thanks. I'm a vegetarian with the cracks at the corner of my mouth.

[4chango]

@openstar42 : There is a naturopathic approach you can do.

[nikkiribeirao]

[thebuttonmushroom]

Very interesting, and a good idea to post video answers to common medical concerns. It turned out I had iron-deficiency anaemia once but baffled my doctor by not really showing any symptoms of it! Haha.
