Hello,
You are not having periods because of deficiency of hemoglobin. Your hormone levels are also inconclusive. Inconclusive hormone levels are indicative of some medical condition that needs to be treated. Low hemoglobin levels cause low blood pressure and hence weakness & stress.
You should get clinically examined and get iron infusion done under an expert doctor in a hospital so that side effects can be managed at the earliest. Yes, iron infusion is safe. It is used to treat iron deficiency anemia; it helps to improve energy of the person and quality of life.
Before iron infusion, keep your treating doctor informed about allergies you have, about all the medical conditions, medications and supplements you take. Side effects vary from patient to patient, not all patients suffer side effects. Side effects cause swelling of the face, arms, etc., bloating, headache, nausea, vomiting, joint & muscle pain, chest pain, etc. It takes a few days to recover from iron infusion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
