Why am i always very tired? i know it has to do with anemia but if i took iron pills will i stop being tired?

Possible: Fatigue is a common symptom of anemia. If you are truly anemic due to iron deficiency (there are also many other causes of anemia), repleting your iron stores through iron supplementation and diet can correct the anemia. This could cure your fatigue. The only way to know is correct your anemia, and then see how you feel. If you don't feel better after this correction, need to look for other causes.
