Very frequently I will be standing up or sitting down and all of a sudden I will get dizzy, light headed, and my ears will start ringing. I have low iron but I am on iron pills, so why does this keep happening?
Answer:
Might be Vit B-12 instead of Iron
I went thru 8 Doctors over 2 years before #8 found it
Usually that sort of thing is from low blood circulation.
Maybe you have vertigo. You should speak to a doctor immediately.
You need water especially while taking iron.
It could be a number of things. You need to see a Dr. Let the doc know if you ever passed out, if you remember the events directly before you passed out (if you did), if you felt tired afterward.
It can be a number of things (neurologic or cardio being the big 2), but the ringing in the ears is VERY concerning, and needs to be addressed. It may be nothing (low blood volume) but it may be something big. Go see your doc, ok?
Low iron in the body has many side affects. Iron-deficiency anemia can range from mild to severe. A mild case usually causes no symptoms or problems. However, a severe case can cause extreme fatigue (tiredness) and weakness. Severe iron-deficiency anemia can lead to serious problems for young children and pregnant women, and it can affect the heart. It could mean that your body isn't abosbing the iron and you should take it at night to be sure it has time to set in your body. Also I found this when looking this up for you
Treatment depends on accurate diagnosis. Iron in diet or vitamin pills won鈥檛 help if the anemia is not due to low iron. Various forms of iron supplements are available over the counter: Ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate or chelated iron. Side effects can include stomach upset and constipation so you need to find a supplement that you can tolerate.
ALSO WITH WHAT YOU ARE GOING THOUGH PLEASE READ THIS ON THAT NOTE:
TOO MUCH IRON
The genetic disorder called hemochromatosis affects the body's ability to control how much iron is absorbed. This leads to too much iron in the body. Treatment consists of a low-iron diet, no iron supplements, and phlebotomy (blood removal) on a regular basis.
It is unlikely that a person would take too much iron. However, children can sometimes develop iron poisoning by swallowing too many iron supplements. Symptoms of iron poisoning include:
Fatigue
Anorexia
Dizziness
Nausea
Vomiting
Headache
Weight loss
Shortness of breath
Grayish color to the skin
See: National Poison Control center
You are dizzy, you get headaches. This might support you have to much Iron in your system. Having to much is just as bad as not enough. CALL YOUR DR and report your side effects NOW!!! Or better yet when you get dizzy have a friend or co-worker or family member take you to the ER!
yeah it is the cause of not having enough iron yet it could also be that your not drinking enough water my doctor told me to drink lots of water. And because you have been sitting down for awhile and than you stand up your body has to take in that movement
