A member asked:
What are some common symptoms of anaemia (iron deficiency) in teenage girls?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia: Severe anemia from iron deficiency often has fatigue associated with it. Sometimes feeling light headed as well. Unfortunately (or fortunately) mild anemia frequently has no symptoms. Many teenage girls are mildly iron deficient because they have poor diets and menstruate. Encouraging proper nutrition is always a good idea!
