A member asked:
I was diagnosed with anemia, and i've been taking iron pills (otc) and i still feel weak and dizzy and have chest pains why is that?

Medical check up: Anemia can cause dizziness and weakness. Although iron can sometimes help you to correct the anemia, you need to have your blood checked again and find out if your hemoglobin level has increased sine you had it checked last time or not. You may need further testing if your anemia persists as the cause may be other than iron deficiency.
