Not related to Fe: These symptoms are not likely related to your iron.

Unlikely: Oral iron should not be producing systemic symptoms, but i always say that almost anything is possible. Would not stop taking these, but rather consult with the doctor who made the diagnosis of iron-deficiency and discuss this.
