A member asked:
Chest pain, headache, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath. doctor said, i'm low on iron. is that's why? headaches are maybe caused by eye strain.

Anemic?: If your iron is low enough to make you anemic (low blood count), your heart will work harder to deliver oxygen to your body with a faster and more forceful beat. Thais may also make you short of breath. The chest pain may not be related.
