Restless legs could be a sign of low iron🦵🩸

That uncomfortable urge to move your legs, especially at night, can be easy to overlook. Restless legs syndrome is a recognised symptom associated with iron deficiency.

If you're experiencing persistent restless legs, it may be worth discussing your iron levels with your healthcare professional.

Could your periods be affecting your iron levels? 🩸

Heavy periods are one of the most common causes of iron deficiency in women, but many people don't realise their bleeding may be heavier than it should be.

If you regularly deal with flooding, need to change protection at night, avoid going out, or pass large clots, it may be worth talking to a healthcare professional.

Iron deficiency doesn’t happen all at once. 🩸

Your iron stores can become depleted before your haemoglobin falls and anaemia develops.

That means you could be feeling the effects of low iron while your blood count still looks normal.

That’s why looking at ferritin as well as haemoglobin can help give a clearer picture of your iron status. 🧪

Iron deficiency is common, but it can be easy to miss. 🩸

You can have low iron stores even when your haemoglobin is still within the normal range.

If you’re experiencing ongoing symptoms, it may be worth asking your healthcare professional about your ferritin level.

What are the stages of iron deficiency? 🩸

Iron deficiency can develop gradually, and anaemia is often the later stage.

A low ferritin level can indicate that your iron stores are depleted, even before anaemia develops.

If you're experiencing symptoms, speak to your healthcare professional about checking your iron levels.
