Can your meds feel stronger / more effective when treating anemia? (sopuli.xyz)

Just as the title says.

I'm very anemic, and I've been struggling to address this. In the last week, I started taking iron supplements to address my fatigue, and things feel a bit.. strange.

I'm still tired, but I sometimes feel/am acutely aware of my heart beating?

Idk. Shouldn't take only a week to see/feel results, right?

Any insight?

(No easy access a doctor / medical professional at this time: American. Thank you.)

Call your pharmacist. They're an expert in the field, and it is their job to give you advice on your medications. You've already paid for this service, even as an American.
