Sensitivity to Cold Temperatures
One of the most common symptoms of low ferritin is a sensitivity to cold temperatures, which can result from anemia. Therefore, a physician may diagnose the person with anemia if they experience this symptom.
However, it could also be due to several other conditions, including fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
It’s important to note that being sensitive to colder temperatures doesn’t necessarily mean they suffer from iron deficiency. Many other factors can cause this symptom besides having low levels of iron in the body.
