No i dont think so, it might be because your body is 'tired' because the low iron. I also have anemia(iron deficiency) and know what you are going through, Ive done research and found this symptoms:

    * Weakness

    * A fast or irregular heartbeat

    * Shortness of breath

    * Chest pain

    * Dizziness

    * Cognitive problems

    * Numbness or coldness in your extremities

    * Headache
