😢❤️ Hey friends, it’s me… Little Red. Can I be honest?
Sometimes I just feel extra emotional ,sad, teary, or even a bit snappy ,and it’s not just because life with HHT can be tough. A lot of the time it’s down to my iron levels or haemoglobin being low. 🩸
Here’s why it happens ⬇️
🧠 Iron is super important for the brain ,it helps make “feel-good” chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. If my iron is low, my mood can dip too.
💨 Low haemoglobin means less oxygen in my blood ,which leaves me tired, foggy, and drained.
😔 And when you’re exhausted all the time, even little stresses can feel overwhelming.
If you’ve noticed yourself feeling more emotional or sad than usual, it might not “just be in your head.” It could be your iron or haemoglobin levels trying to tell you something.
👉 Keep a check on these signs ,it might be time to ask for some blood tests.
