When I got pregnant my doctor prescribed Ferrous Sulfate Green 325mg (iron) twice a day, but it made me sick so I only took it for a week during my 3rd month of pregnancy. They tested my iron and apparently I was already low before I got pregnant so I'm sure it's even lower now. I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant and recently I have been feeling VERY depressed and having panic attacks. Do you think that it could be because of my lack of iron?
IRON DEFFICIENCY SIGNS
- Nervous stress, depression, hysterical outburst.
- Lowered mental ability, poor memory.
- Anemia, pale skin.
- Exhaustion, low energy, lack of ambition.
- Low blood count, hemorrhages, nosebleeds.
- Acute infections, inflammatory diseases.
- Spitting of blood, copious menstruation
This is some information I got from this site - http://www.naturesnutrition.com/DATES/iron.htm
I have almost all of them. The other day I woke up in the morning and had a really bad nose bleed and I haven't had a nose bleed since I was a kid. Anyway, is there a good possibility that this could be causing me to be severely depressed and have panic attacks? I would much rather feel Nauseous and vomit than feel the way I do now.
