Are fainting spells/low blood pressure related to iron deficiencies?
Probably not necessarily related but the fact that you are anemic may mean that you are more likely to get dizzy when you have low blood pressure. When you are, anemic oxygen does not circulate as well. When you have low blood pressure your brain doesn’t get properly perfused with blood and even less oxygen gets to the brain. You subsequently get dizzy and faint. Both anemia and low blood pressure can be caused by many things. See your doctor regulary until conrolled. T he most common cause of low blood pressure is not enough fluids, so drink up. Likewise if your iron levels are too low then eat more iron rich foods.
