What Causes Dizziness During Morning?
Hi I have been feeling light headed every morning now soon after I wake up while i am preparing breakfast and it stays fir about hours then I am fine. I am 36 yrs old female, 5 ft 6 weighs about 145 lb. I have anemia/ low iron level. this is a condition that I have had all my life and was doing fine all the past years. Its Mediterranean Anemia since i am originally from the middle east. My doctor had me do a blood test recently and my iron level was lower than my normal. I have been taking iron supplements for about 2 weeks now, also vitamin A , C, D, B50 complex. I take all these supplements in the morning after breakfast except for iron & vitamin C i take them mid day. So any ideas why I feel light headed in the morning?
