A member asked:
I have palpitations blamed on iron deficiency. i don't believe they are related since the meds are helping every other symptom.low potassium possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia: Anemia may cause rapid heart beat, and iron deficiency may cause anemia, but iron deficiency itself does not affect the heart rate. Low potassium is very unlikely to be the cause of your symptom.
