8 Signs of Iron Deficiency You Shouldn’t Ignore

Heart palpitations

Noticeable heartbeats, also known as heart palpitations, can be another symptom of iron-deficiency anemia. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that helps transport oxygen around the body. In iron deficiency, low levels of hemoglobin mean the heart has to work extra hard to carry oxygen. This can lead to irregular heartbeats, or the feeling that your heart is beating abnormally fast. In extreme cases, it can lead to an enlarged heart, heart murmur or heart failure.

However, these symptoms tend to be a lot less common. You would have to suffer from iron deficiency for a long time to experience them.
