Can Ferrous Sulfate Cause Palpitations In Anaemic?

I was diagnosed with anemia and was told to take 3 ferrous sulfate tabs daily. It seems as though everytime I take an iron tab, I have palpitations. Can ferrous sulfate cause palpitations? I've had several EKG's done & they were all normal...however, the palpitations are frightening. My blood count is still below normal but is an 11.7 now. What do you think may be causing the palpitations?
