Anamnesis of iron deficiency anemia
Clinical condition: Patients’ complaints are associated with anemic syndrome.
Severe ferropenia (extremely low ferritin) can cause similar symptoms, even in the absence of anemia. Typical symptoms include fatigue, headache, irritability, exercise intolerance, dyspnea on exertion, and angina.
Some patients have perversion of appetite (pica), reporting a desire to ingest non-food items ( eg ice, paper, soap). There is also an association between iron deficiency anemia and restless legs syndrome (uncontrollable urge to move the legs during periods of inactivity). The dysphagia report should raise the hypothesis of Plummer-Vinson syndrome (ferropenia, dysphagia, esophageal membrane).
