Are Brittle Nails And Hot Flushes Symptoms Of Anemia?
I have been diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia. My nails are starting to split vertically and I am also getting hot flush/sweating episodes later in the day. Are these recognised symptoms. Tomorrow I am having a capsule endoscopy. I am concerned that I may have a tumour as I had a malignant melanoma 20 years ago.

Then you should take treatment accordingly.
