Can low iron supplements worsen work performance?
Patient's Query
Hey ive been diagnosed with low iron around a month ago, I’ve been taking iron supplements once a day as suggested by the dr, I have had some time off work as it’s been affecting my ability to do my job, I felt as though I got to a point where I could return to work so I went back Monday and I was okay but come Tuesday I felt really wobbly, dizzy out of breath and just awful, it’s quite a physically demanding job where I’m up and down stairs, ladders, carrying heavy paint, using paint machines, its really affecting my mental health, I’m worried about my financial situation if I lose my job (my employer has mentioned it’s a possibility) I’m worried about my ability to return to work and how it’s affecting not only myself but everyone around me.
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
It seems like your persistent iron deficiency anemia is still troublesome. Low iron levels can cause symptoms like weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath, especially during physical activities. This can affect your work and mental health. Please consult your doctor if symptoms continue, as there may be issues with iron absorption or another underlying condition.
