Iron Deficiency Anemia?

I've gotten blood tests done and the results said that I was very low on Iron and Vitamin D, and the Doctor told me that I'm not anemic, but I'm very close to it. Everytime I stand up I feel extremely dizzy so I can't walk straight for about 15 seconds. I also get very lightheaded and weak after standing up or doing some physical activity. I have really bad chest pain too, and other symptoms. Do you think that I might have anemia? Are lightheadedness and weakness signs of anemia? If I am anemic, what do I do about it?

Answer:
You can be iron deficient without being technically anemic.
Your symptoms are classic signs of anemia/iron deficiency
You need to take iron supplements, and a vitamin B tablet.
Once you start on iron supplements, you'll feel like a new person.
If you want to jump-start your recovery, get a bottle of Floradix at health food stores. It will make you feel better within 3 days
If you have iron deficiency anemia you need to eat foods high in iron .or you can take an iron pill and a vitamin D pill .did you tell your Dr. about the chest pain?
Ive had Iron deficiency anemia I think twice total. The dizziness is probably part of the anemia and if you feel really tired, that is part of it too. Some of the dizziness may be due to low blood sugar. A blood test would be able to tell you that for sure. As for the anemia, you can buy SloFe and Feosol which iron supplements. You will have to take them everyday with a meal, for awhile for your iron levels to get back up. Hope you get better!
hello i took a blood test and it came back that i am very anemic what can being anemic do to you if not taken care of and is there any foods that can help
