My doctor told me i have iron deficiency recently and for about 4 mnths i've had severe trouble swallowing, throat pain esophagus pain. is this linked?

Probably not: Your anemia, at your age, probably comes from menstrual blood loss. Upper GI pain will require testing or direct imaging. Could be infective (thrush, others).
