Low Iron & Dizziness: Symptoms, Causes & Self-Care

Question
Dear Expert--
It is 1 week before my period should start.  I am feeling lightheaded.  If I turn around quickly or move too fast I get slightly dizzy. Nothing moves I feel like I am. Is that the normal description of low iron?  I have started taking multi vits with iron, short of going to the dr is there anything I can do?

Thanks ~Ceriah

Answer
Is that the normal description of low iron? Not really, it is the fluid retention secondary to B-6 deficiency that affects the balance.


I have started taking multi vits with iron, short of going to the dr is there anything I can do? Some take 50 mg of Vit B 6 three times a day but ask your doctor if OK for you.
