I don't know all of them but I do know they tested me for iron deficiency when I was really tired all the time. You can check out WebMD for more symptoms.

you get dark circles around ur eyes, fatigue, not in the mood to eat, dehydrated,

Fatigue, dark circles around the eyes, pale skin, and sometimes your nails can develop ridges in them. Just go to your doc and get tested - it's a simple blood test.

I'm anemic now due to a pill I have to take.

ALWAYS cold...I'm now the silly person you see wearing a hoodie in the summer.
Exausted....even though you didn't do hardly anything. If you become anemic..you find yourself sleeping alot more than you ever did. So tired.
Cough..that you have for no reason that just doesn't go away is also a new sign that you are low in iron.
Skin became very pale like....you could see alot of my veins after I became anemic. It's not a good look. It's a nasty pale too...not a normal pale like a redhead...it's a sick pale. Noticable too.
Very nauseated all the time. Almost a constant sick feeling.
Very irritated too. Every little thing got on my nerves. It sucked.


The most noticable thing was the tiredness. NO energy no matter what I ate. I even took a few cafine pills to help me out and nothing! There was nothing I could do or eat that would boost my energy level.
Iron regulates the amount of oxygen in your blood cells...without adequte iron you don't have adequte oxygen levels getting to all your major organs. After a while of this..they start to shut down..thus the sleepyness..no energy..always being cold. Not enough iron is a very serious thing. Easily curable though.
