Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your iron level may be low. You should go for some investigation. You can go with serum iron, serum ferritine & hemoglobin level. If you have low iron then you should take iron rich food like jeggary, dry fruits, dates, green leafy vegetables, beef etc. You should also take oral or injectable iron if required according to your doctor's advice.

Hope I have answered your question.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
