What Causes Dizziness After Receiving An Iron Infusion Procedure?
I have anemia and have received my first iron infusion last Tuesday. I was working outside in my flowerbed, leaning over digging. When I raised up I got lightheaded, dizzy, then all sound started to get muffled. After leaning or sitting down and taking some deep breaths, the muffled went away replaced by a ringing. Is this a part of the anemia?
Hello, I just read your query. The symptoms like dizziness, lightheadednsss, spinning of head or sometimes palpitations(rapid heart rate) etc. might be due to anemia. * As you have mentioned about dizziness, sometimes after iron infusion it might occur. *So whenever you feel this kind of symptoms lie down immediately to avoid any injury. Start breathing deeply as it will help you. * Take foods which are rich in iron like green leafy vegetables, fruits like apple, banana etc., yellow of egg etc. *I hope you find my answer helpful. Thank you.
