    Unusual fatigue:
    This fatigue occurs because your body lacks the iron needed to produce a protein called hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen throughout the body.
    Shortness of breath:
    Hemoglobin allows your red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body.
    When hemoglobin levels are low during iron deficiency, oxygen levels are also low. This means that your muscles will not receive enough oxygen to perform normal activities such as walking.
    As a result, your breathing rate will increase as your body tries to get more oxygen. This is why shortness of breath is a common symptom.
    Spoon-shaped nails:
    Usually the first sign is brittle nails that break easily.
    In the later stages of iron deficiency, spoon-shaped nails may appear when the middle of the nail is lowered and the edges are raised, giving a rounded spoon appearance. This condition is called coilonychia
    Palpitations:
    Low iron content means low hemoglobin levels, and low hemoglobin means low blood oxygen carrying capacity. This means that the heart has to work especially hard to carry oxygen.
    This can lead to an irregular heartbeat or a feeling that your heart is beating abnormally fast.
    Dry and damaged hair and skin:
    Iron deficiency lowers hemoglobin levels in the blood, which can reduce the amount of oxygen available to the cells that cause hair growth. When the skin and hair are deprived of oxygen, they can become dry and weak.
    Restless legs:
    Iron deficiency is associated with restless legs syndrome.
    This condition includes a strong desire to move your legs when they are at rest. It can also cause unpleasant crawling sensations or itching in the feet and shins.
    In conclusion, iron deficiency is a common disease that can have serious consequences if left untreated. The above signs and symptoms can affect daily activities and quality of life, and it is important to seek medical attention if you experience them.
