Signs of Low Iron Anemia

Low iron anemia presents a range of symptoms, with fatigue being the most common sign to watch for. Individuals experiencing chronic fatigue should consider underlying causes, particularly iron deficiency, as it impairs oxygen delivery in the body. Other symptoms include pale skin, which can indicate poor blood circulation, and shortness of breath during physical activities, signaling that the body may not be getting sufficient oxygen. Recognizing these symptoms early can lead to timely intervention and dietary adjustments to increase iron intake.
