You are tired, cold all the time and sometimes you'll get a headache. You can get iron supplements over the counter but you should have your doc do a blood test. I am anemic and it sucks sometimes

The only sure way to know is if you have a quick blood test (they do this one before you donate it takes a few seconds) but you know you iron is low when you seem tired all the time. Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/408169-signs-symptoms-of-low-iron-in-women/#ixzz2JYeUq8Bk :
Signs of low iron include extreme fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, irritability and headache. Your may experience problems with maintaining body temperature, causing your hands and feet to feel cold. Pale skin, brittle nails, an inflamed or sore tongue and rapid heartbeat are other signs of low iron. Restless legs syndrome, a condition that causes an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, occurs in some people with low iron. Poor appetite and pica, an urge to eat unusual non-food substances are other signs of low iron.

Fatigue is a non specific symptom. It can be due to many things. But a blood test will let you know. You are likely to have anemia if you are vegetarian, or if you have kidney disease. So there may be a bigger underlying problem if you are anemic. See a doctor and they will make sure you get the care you need.

You can take a blood test. If your iron is low you get tired easily, and are sleepy most of the time. You might also get dizzy sometimes. lol I have anemia so if you feel like this, I suggest you see a doctor. :)

I had been craving broccoli. A vegetable that I didn't like. I told my Dr. this was one of my "odd"cravings when I was pregnant, so the Dr. cheked my iron level. He said our bodies wil crave those foods that we are in need of to stay healthy and balnced. I thought that was strange; but it's true. Our bodies do talk o us! :D (true story)

Get up close to a mirror and gently pull down your lower eyelid so that you can see the 'backside' or inside of it. A pink/red color indicates healthy iron levels; if it is pale pink or white, then you are probably anemic. Follow up with your doctor and a blood test.

If it is a diet deficiency, adjust your food. Try not to take an iron supplement if possible. Here's a link for iron sources:
