Answer 3

Heya,

Wow ive never heard this before with someone who has been on iron tablets, im guessing you are maybe reacting to the extra iron you are consuming what i suggest you do to be on the safe side and go and see your doctor he will be able to run some tests to see whats going on. and treat you accordingly. In the meantime stop treatment and book a doctors appoitment immediately.

It could be nothing but let the GP tell you that, this is only precautionary.

Hope i helped
