What Causes Cough And Lack Of Energy After Taking Multivitamin Tablets?

Hi - I do not usually take multi vitamins, however recently, I have started (for the past two weeks) taking TESCO Multivitamins + Iron, and have developed a chesty cough, constant feeling of no energy and lack of concentration as well as slight loss of voice. Is this related?

Hello
You mentioned that your are taking multivitamin and also iron.
After these drugs , you develop chesty cough , no energy and tiredness i.e. lac of concentration.
These symptoms may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Due to allergy ( like dust , pollen , pests , fumes , spray , smoking ( active 7 passive , sudden change in temperature ). As allergy produces bronchoconstriction and this causes chesty cough , loss of energy and lack of concentration .
2 Iron tablets or preparation ,sometimes produces such type of symptoms . so may be due to IRON or due to any ingredient of multivitamin .
3 As you didn't mention , why you started these tablets ?
So iron deficiency anemia may be the cause of such symptoms .
But deficiency of calcium or viramin D 3 , we can not rule out.
So in my opinion get in blood for calcium, hemoglobin and Vitamin D 3 deficiency.
Still no relief , then consult a doctor and get his opinion.
