Tired All The Time, Had A Brain Injury Due To Shingles On Face. Does Low Iron Cause Seizures ?

I am tiied all the time and suffer from a brain injury that ocured 3yrs ago. My family doctors just asked me if anyone had checked or let me know that my iron level was very low. Could this be causing seizures and cause problems with seizure meds. For the past 3yr years they are still trying to find the right seiaue combinationl
My brain injury was caused by shingles on my face above lip. Virus traveled up through nasal passage to brain, could be see some what by looking at eyes. Aura starts with colourful crystal and spins really fast if its going to go into bad seizure.
