Need to examine: Why was blood transfusion needed? Iron deficiency and your symptoms suggest poor nutrition, either due to poor intake or malabsorption. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You should see a doctor for a proper evaluation.
