Iron deficiency symptom: Fatigue

Iron deficiency can cause severe fatigue that significantly impacts daily life. Iron is an important part of red blood cells that transport oxygen in the body. When there is too little iron, the blood's oxygen transport decreases, leading to fatigue and weakness. Additionally, iron deficiency can affect brain function and cause difficulty concentrating as well as memory problems. It is important to recognize these symptoms early and seek medical assessment and, if necessary, treatment to correct iron deficiency and alleviate fatigue.
