Severe Dizziness, Feeling Of Wooziness After Restarting Iron Tablets For Decreasing Iron Levels. Suggest

I have just started taking irong tablets again, as I was on them last year for 6 months as my level dropped to 5, then it went back up after being on iron tablets so he told me to come off the tablets, now it has dropped to 8 again, so back on iron tablets, I was feeling dizzy anyway with the low iron but the last couple of days the dizziness has got quite bad and feeling quite woozy with it?

If the dizziness is disturbing your daily activities you can consult your doctor and ask for an injectable preparation of iron which is even more efficacious than iron tablets.These injections have to be taken 2-3 times a week.Try to know the reason for falling anemic.Its better to treat the cause than its symptoms.Take care and get well soon.
