Is It Safe To Have Iron Supplements Despite Suffering From High BP?

My mom has high blood pressure and recently she felt weak & dizzy regularly. I have purchased Iron 65mg nature made & B-12 nature made 1000 mg for her to take regularly. Would these affect her high blood pressure & medications she current taken daily?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: Self medication is dangerous

Explanation: Dizziness can be due to High blood pressure/some other Cardiovascular problem. I dont think your mom requires iron supplements if her Haemoglobin is normal. So, please go for Haemoglobin check before taking iron supplements.
Hope you understood.
