As a hematologist, I can provide you with information on the signs of low hemoglobin, which is often a result of iron deficiency anemia. Here are the common symptoms:
1.
General fatigue: Feeling tired or lacking energy is a common sign.
2.
Weakness: A decrease in overall strength and the ability to perform daily tasks.
3.
Pale skin: Hemoglobin gives your skin its rosy color, so low levels can lead to a pale appearance.
4.
Shortness of breath: Hemoglobin carries oxygen, so low levels can cause breathlessness, especially with physical activity.
5.
Dizziness: This can occur due to the lack of oxygen reaching the brain.
6.
Strange cravings: Some people with iron deficiency may crave non-food items like dirt, ice, or clay, a condition known as pica.
7.
Tingling or crawling feeling in the legs: This can be due to nerve damage from iron deficiency.
8.
Tongue swelling or soreness: Iron is necessary for the health of your tongue and mouth, and a deficiency can cause issues.
