5 Signs of Iron Deficiency You Should NOT Ignore | Doctor Explains #youtubeshorts #iron #aesthetics

Many people feel tired all the time and think it is because of stress, poor sleep, or a busy lifestyle. But in clinical practice, one of the most common hidden reasons behind constant fatigue is iron deficiency. Iron is an essential mineral that helps your body make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to your organs, muscles, skin, and brain. When iron levels are low, oxygen supply reduces, and the body starts giving warning signs—often slowly and quietly. In this video, I explain 5 common signs of iron deficiency, which include: • Feeling tired or weak even after proper rest • Pale or dull-looking skin • Hair fall and weak or brittle nails • Dizziness, headaches, or poor concentration • Breathlessness on mild activity These symptoms are very commonly seen in women, especially due to poor dietary intake, menstrual blood loss, pregnancy, or frequent dieting. Unfortunately, many people ignore these signs until iron deficiency progresses into anemia. It is important to understand that iron supplements should not be taken without blood tests. Too little iron is harmful, but excess iron can also cause health problems. A simple blood test like hemoglobin and serum ferritin can guide the right treatment. Along with medical treatment, a balanced diet including green leafy vegetables, lentils, dates, jaggery, nuts, and iron-rich foods plays an important role in recovery. If you notice two or more of these symptoms, please consider this video as a reminder to get your iron levels checked and consult a doctor. 👍 Like if this information helped you 📌 Save this video for future reference 💬 Share it with someone who is always tired 🔔 Subscribe for more simple, doctor-explained health awareness videos #IronDeficiency #LowIron #AnemiaAwareness #HealthAwareness #DoctorExplains #MedicalReels #HealthReels#WomenHealth #AnemiaInWomen #HairFallProblems #Fatigue #Weakness #HormonalHealth
