See your doc SOON: Find out why you have such a profound iron deficiency anemia- causes generally due to menstrual loss, gut loss, poor absorption of iron due to bowel diseases like celiac sprue, and/or poor intake. Underlying diseases can cause loss of appetite, or rsult of iron def. Low iron can cause fatigue, bruising, irritability, poor concentration (even w/o anemia). Low HGB can cause w/stroke, heart problems.
