Dear patient, Possible reasons for your question: 1. Fatigue or Low Energy – Iron deficiency is a leading cause of tiredness and poor stamina. 2. Pale Skin or Shortness of Breath – These can be signs of anemia due to low iron. 3. Hair Loss or Brittle Nails – Often linked with iron deficiency. 4. Frequent Headaches or Dizziness – Especially when standing up or during exertion. 5. Poor Concentration or Brain Fog – Iron is essential for oxygen delivery to the brain. 6. General Health Checkup or Preventive Care – Especially common among professionals with sedentary lifestyles, like software engineers. 7.

Who suggested you to check iron levels and for what reason..? Because there are tests like serum iron levels, serum ferritin, TIbC. Each has its own significance.
