10 Side Effects of Low Iron

Low Iron Side Effect #9: Anxiety
Anxiety is not uncommon among people. It is a natural response to certain events and helps to keep us alert to help us overcome certain situations. Ideally, though, we should be able to relax when the situation passes. If we are not able to relax then it can begin to have an impact on our physical and mental health.
Patients that do have insufficient levels of iron in the blood can experience anxiety easier than other people. They may become worried about relatively benign issues and socializing with others can become a problem. The symptoms should hopefully pass once natural levels of iron have been restored.
