Haemoglobin (an iron containing protein in red blood cells) is essential to a healthy body as it carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and carbon dioxide back to the lungs. If your haemoglobin or iron levels are low this will make you feel tired and may prevent you from carrying out your normal daily routine.

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms go and see your Doctor. You may be suffering from Iron deficiency which can be verified with a simple blood test.
