- Weird Symptoms of Iron Deficiency | Nails, Tongue, Skin, Hair & Others
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. Iron deficiency can lead to several important clinical outcomes, including iron deficiency anemia. In addition to anemia, iron deficiency can lead to a host of other strange and vague signs and symptoms, including cracking lips (angular cheilitis), canker sores, dry skin, thinning hair and an association with restless legs syndrome. In this lesson, we discuss why these signs and symptoms occur along with many other atypical and “weird” signs and symptoms of iron deficiency.

Thanks JJ, I enjoy listening to your videos and learning from them! I’m listening from England! Keep it up 🙏🙂✨
Iam facing eating difficulty is it possible I have anemia?
In America when you go to the doctor with these symptoms they try to give you Psych Meds instead of doing detective work. 😂😂😂 hate it here sometimes.
Same here in Australia 🤦🏻♀️ so many useless doctors here
They sure do here in the USA ! Spot on comment!
Yeah they kept trying to give me depression meds until I finally refused for the last time and the doctor gave me a blood test.
Facts
Yep, antidepressants solve Everything!!! 🤕🤒🤢
Three years I had a SEVERE ice addiction. I went to several doctors. Eventually several dental visits (cracked my teeth from the ice). Finally, a doctor figured it out. Two days after iron supplementation and my ice addiction was gone. That’s all it took.
That was me, in my younger day! I am an anemic, but don't have the crazing's anymore! Actually I don't have any crazings! But my nails do have the lines, and break off.
I have been religiously eating frozen strawberries. I was just diagnosed with iron deficiency and vitamin againdeficiency. I was searching to find out more about these issues. And my mind is blown. Because I experience at least 98% of the symptoms for both deficiencies. I was just prescribed medicine & i am praying for relief!! I just want to know what it feels like to feel good again. Its been so long I honestly can't remember what it feels like to wake up in the morning pain free, energetic & looking forward to doing something. This diagnosis gives me hope that with the right meds I may experience that feeling again.
Are you ok now?
As a heterozygous carrier of a hemochromatosis gene, this is one issue I'll never need to worry about.
SIBO is also associated with RLS 🙃. So, if you're trying to get to the root cause of RLS and you're not Iron-deficient you may want to look into that. (SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, btw. Common symptoms are bloating, abdominal pain, and irregular stools.)
Give up milk completely.. not even in coffee .. you will get rid of rls in 3 to 4 months..
Thank you JJ Medicine.
Always excellent.
Whoa! I’ve had 90% of these symptoms over the past year without having any clue that iron was the cause. I don’t have hair loss, at least not noticeable but probably because I’m Native American and it would take a whole lot wrong to start balding lol. That and no mouth sores but I absolutely had angular chelitis a few months back. Just looked at my nails and can see the lines in them and also realized I haven’t had to cut them hardly at all. The most noticeable thing has been the RLS, tiredness, and recently my calves have started feeling cramped for no reason. At first it was just my left and now my right one too.
I’m here because I just got my blood test back from a checkup and my ferritin/transferritin levels were super low. Haven’t heard back from the doc since it’s thanksgiving week but got the electronic copy of the results online and I’m taking an iron supplement now.
This is actually really relieving because I’ve been supplementing on all the major vitamins for the past month with no results and never even thought of iron probably because I’m a man and it’s just not something I really ever hear any concern about other than for women.
Doing some research, I think it might be due to all the NSAID’s I’ve been taking.
Me too.
Its more than just hair loss its the growth phase stops and remains dormant causing the hair that doesnt fall to stay at a cropped length.
I didn't know that, but it does make sense
Thanks for that bit of info! Wonder if that’s why one side of my hair has grown longer than the other side! When I go back to my hairdresser she’s going to think I’ve been messing about and cutting my own hair and i haven’t! 😮
@@daisychain914 thats likely the issue. My hair stops growing in the back
So thorough! Thank you so much!
The annoying bit is when you have iron deficiency, pretty often the symptoms are listed in a was that doesn't go into it, doesn't elaborate and makes it vague wherever you look for info. You are left wondering if your symptoms are iron deficiency, even when you've been diagnosed because they tell you you might not even have symptoms or describe basic ones that could apply for another condition
Very informative. Thanks very much. 🙏
Thank you great information,
Thank you for a really good video. 🙂👍
Thank you for sharing this awesome educational video I really appreciate it ❤
Thanks for your time, it answered a few questions, 🎉
Thanks for video
That was the best video I have ever seen!!!!! Thank u❤
Thank you! Never knew all those things can happen! And it seems that I have had a good 80 percent of everything u mention!
This was super helpful!
After long term Zinc Intake I had Iron Overload/ Disregulation and Anemia. This was because Zinc intake caused a Copper deficiency which caused Iron to malfunction and cause serious health issues which had me ending up in hospital. Zinc supplements cause Anemia and Neutrapenia, grey hair , rapid skin wrinkles, all symptoms reversed within several months after stopping Zinc and taking a Copper supplement..Copper manufacturers Collagen which improves skin and hair quality and colour. My iron is fine now and so is ny health 😊
Wow, that, is exactly what happened to me. Took way too much zinc because everyone says to take it for COVID prevention and to avoid copper.
@@bobGmitter too many people advising men to take zinc for Testosterone without a complete understanding...any nutrient taken in isolation will at some stage cause an imbalance of other nutrients...more supplements does not mean more health .. daily supplements will tax your liver if long term intake...it took me years to realise I was addicted to supplements...my health has improved so much in recent months since I rely on real whole food and supplements are just once or twice a week...
how much Zunk did you take?
@@elenamanoli5728 I took between 15 and 40 mg most days of the week, different amounts. Its not so much the amount taken but the length of time so even a low amount will still reduce Copper thereby causing serious health problems
Please, how much did you take per day, and what zinc formulation? Thank you, and good health!
Já estava respondido! 😊
Excellent,
thank you !!
Thank You as I discovered mt iron I severely deplete- Am taking supplants and seems to help a lot ☝🏾👵🏽😊
Thank you. I'm going to start taking my medicine like I'm suppose to.
Thankyou so much
thanks
Omgggggg I ate SOOOOOOOO much ice, I wore down the enamel on my back teeth and my friend referred to me as the ice lady 😅
After having my hysterectomy, I no longer crave or chew ice
This is the MOST information that I have ever received about low iron! THANK u! I am a senior and back when I was younger I understood my low iron, because women go threw a cycle! But now as a.senior there's none of that! And iron is still low! Dr's NEVER explain the reasons to me,signs or anything else! Thank u again because I have most of every sign that u mention! Symptoms that I never had when I was young!
well that explains a lot. i have ridged nails, angular chelitis, and lots of canker sores. guess i have to adjust my diet
Take lysine when you get the canker sores. Takes care of mine. Sometimes overnight. You can find it in the vitamin section.
is tannins from tea also a symptom love ice tea or hot tea
I have all these symptoms!
B1 will mimic this.
Getting random chills ?
Pain in upper thigh?
Spiralina good source of iron
As a kid, I would sneak handfuls of cat kibble everyday. I loved it, craved it, and if I’m to be honest, I still sometimes do. I was chronically anemic, along with other symptoms until they almost killed me. Turns out I am celiac. I often wonder if that kibble helped me in some way, perhaps giving a much needed boost of calories and nutrients.
Wow that is gross. Sorry about that.
@@carmella88 Yikes
@@carmella88 no need to be rude.
@@djarias28 umm I didnt mean it to be rude. I feed my cats and I think its gross. Maybe came off wrong but I didnt mean it to be gross most people im sure would think its gross I did say sorry .
Dead euthanized animals go into cat food
I have iron deficiency anemia. But I have not one symptom related to this. Only found out by a blood test for something else.
me too
Lol I crazed the ice that form on the top of the older frige's! Would go to people house's that had them, and eat as much ice from the top that I could!
Interesting ! Have koilonychia on 2 fingers of each hand for 15yrs, onychorrhexia for life and wondered other possible causes of those. Anemia runs in family and loved liver as a child(felt better, but it has B vites and mienrals including iron). Some of those symptoms you mention are B12 also ! Lately have high iron but ferritin 34, high TIBC and Dr said Hg good (12.8) so ignore high iron (also high in MCV). a B12 oils website said iron needs B12 to work and B12 needs B2 (which needs minerals). Are there signs or labs to ck better iron status than iron and ferritin? Same with B12(if have antibodies and analyzers use ab than skewed results) Had read that a copper protein carries iron so maybe that is off.
so i bought iron supplement 65 mg and took them occasionally before bed, didn't realize for quite a while that these were the reason for my severe, and i mean severe leg cramps, both upper and lower legs, let me tell you those upper leg cramps were super scary and i won't touch these pills ever again, also kinda make you wonder about them being in pre-natal pills for pregnant women, last time i had these type of leg cramps was when i was pregnant decades ago, then my baby was put on iron formula and cried all the time
I have Pica really bad with ice
dawg I'm a junior in hs and I've been going insane over my hair thank God I discovered this video and I show like 65% of the symptoms
gonna go to the store today and get iron supplements 💀💀💀
Make sure you take vitamin C with Iron so it helps absorb it properly in the body.
What about fingernails that are thick, yellow and pitted? What deficiency would that indicate? Or is that just an infection? I have this on two fingernails.
Could be a fungus
🙏
Is globus sensation a symptom of iron deficiency anaemia???? Also i have upper thigh cramps , palpitations, high pulse rate and severe anxiety
Yes it’s iron deficiency anemia I have the same
UGH I hate iron deficiency 🙁
My pagophagia presented as chewing/crunching on Altoids breath mints! I would shove almost an entire tin of altoids in my mouth and crunch on them, I was going through a tin or more a day. Until I got so out of breath and lightheaded, I passed out, hit my head and ended up in the emergency room where I got a blood transfusion to get my numbers up from a very low 5 to into the normal range of 11-15.
👍
It was guilty please to me in the childhood to steal meat from freezer and eat it while it’s frozen. Funny how my organism was on the middle way between ice craving and actually eating more meat to receive iron 😂
👍👍🙏
Oh damn……
🌹🌹🌹

Is iron deficiency anaemia permanent or curable?
Supplementation fixes it, but find out the cause.
Mouth? 😂😂😂seriously mouth MOUTH
Can you sweat bad with lack of iron
Probably
Yes, and Low D3 sometimes does that.
Yes. I wake up in puddles when my iron is low. It actually has a name.
