Just as the title says.

I'm very anemic, and I've been struggling to address this. In the last week, I started taking iron supplements to address my fatigue, and things feel a bit.. strange.

I'm still tired, but I sometimes feel/am acutely aware of my heart beating?

Idk. Shouldn't take only a week to see/feel results, right?

Any insight?

I've noticed a drop in efficacy when I have a period of time where I'm anemic. I'm basically having to take iron supplements non-stop for that reason...

Nice to hear from someone else with a similar experience, and I hope that improving the anemia leads to an improvement in ADHD symptoms too!
