I am suffering from iron deficieny anemia, but iron supplemnt irritate my oasphegas, now i am notice increase in pulse and hypotension.

GI side effects: Are problematic with iron replacement. I am worried your anemia is severe with increased pulse and low blood pressure. Unlikely that iron is causing the latter. Get with your doc. There are other options for iron repletion.
