Will It Be Safe And Effective To Take Iron Pills Or Anemia?

HI, I have been feeling drained and on Wed I had a fainting spell at work, they sent me home for the night. ON Thursday I went into the Dr. and had some test, ekg, blood and urine. Everything came back fine, just anemic. So he has me taking iron pills. Today is the 2nd day taking them but I m still not feeling well. How long before I will notice a difference?

Dear friend , iron pills will definitely benifit you but it takes nearly 2 weeks.You will feel difference in your health after two weeks.I suggest you to take diets that are rich in iron.Start using Eggs,Soybeans,Spinach,Lentils,Kidney Beans, pomegranates (anaar), jamun, black grapes, apricots , plums, strawberries, avocados and phalsa because these will give additive effect to increase iron along with iron pills.Thanx for query.
