I posted this on the main forum too, but I thought there's got to be another gal out there with the same prob!
I've diagnosed myself (dangerous I know!) from the internet with an iron deficiency. I'm female, vegetarian which are two of the major risk factors. My symptoms are fatigue, low blood pressure that I notice when moving from sitting to standing (my vision gets blurry), and trouble sleeping even after days of intense training.
Reading up on this it looks like there are several options like being more consistent taking my multivitamin which contains 100% dv of iron, and eating more beans, leafy greens, etc.
What I was wondering is if there is anyone who has had this problem and can give me some advice? Also, I'm wondering how long it will take to turn this baby around and start feeling better?
Thanks!
