Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Low iron levels usually present with anemia symptoms like easy fatiguibility, fast heart beat, shortness of breath, dizziness, cold hands and feet, pica ( craving for non nutritious foods like ice, dirt chips etc) and restless leg syndrome.
Hot flashes are usually not connected to iron levels and should be evaluated for other causes. Howeverif iron levels are transfused faster than usual then it may cause hot flashes.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
