Is Iron Tablets And Drop In BP Related?
I had a blood test for low iron but it came back normal. I still had this sudden onset of tiredness between 1-2pm. So I tried taking an iron tablet and the tiredness disappears and I have done this every day for 6 months. However, my blood pressure is high and yesterday I forgot to take my iron tablet and my blood pressure has dropped. Could there be a connection?

Hello,
No there is no connection between the two. Cause for low bp must be something else like dehydration or fasting, accidentally consumed bp medicine, sometimes infection, heart problems. If it's persistently low then needs to visit local doctor for evaluation, examination and blood test, ecg etc.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts or more information to share.
