Fatigue: Iron deficiency can cause symptoms related to poor total body iron stores. Tired and fatigued are the most common with ice craving being very prevalent . iron is important for hair growth, skin rejuvenation, and all your bodily functions as well as necessary to produce red blood cells. is carried on the hemoglobin of your red blood cell . Anemia may increase your risk of heart palpitations
