What Causes Dizziness After Having Iron Supplements?

Hi, I have been told I am low in Iron even though I have a healthy diet with little sugar and plenty of fresh meat and veggies. I have started taking iron tablets 24mg per day (1x tab) and always feel dizzy after taking them, really light headed and a bit spaced out. Is this normal??? I have heard that due to increased oxygen absorbency this is a perfectly normal response and shows that I do in fact need to be taking them...?
