[|Human|] Can low iron cause a woman, 69, to feel as though she is going to pass out? I can feel this problem coming on perhaps 15 minutes before it gets to the point I can t get up to walk, have clammy skin, feeling fatique. After lying down about 15 minutes, the symptoms go away. I have went to the hospital after such happenings, this is the 4th in 5 years, and they find nothing wrong at the time. Can the iron level increase within hours?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. Low iron leads to anemia, which can cause weakness. It's due to reduced oxygenation. The same reduced oxygenation can make you to pass out.2. Due to these symptoms, neural system activation takes place (sympathetic system) leading to excessive sweating, which can cause clammy skin.3. Iron is not only important in blood, it performs, various metabolic activities in various cells. Injectables or iron infusions can help improve sooner. Nutritional supplements and diet rich in iron is needed for maintenance. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
