8 Signs of Iron Deficiency You Shouldn’t Ignore

Fatigue

Feeling very tired is one of the most common symptoms of iron deficiency. This happens because hemoglobin helps carry oxygen around the body and without enough iron, your body can’t make enough hemoglobin.  When your body doesn’t have enough hemoglobin, less oxygen reaches your tissues and muscles, depriving them of energy. In addition, your heart has to work harder to move more oxygen-rich blood around your body, which can make you tired.

Since tiredness is often considered a normal part of a busy, modern life, it’s difficult to diagnose iron deficiency with this symptom alone. However, many people with iron deficiency experience low energy alongside weakness, feeling cranky, difficulty concentrating or poor productivity at work.
