Context piece
- A burning tongue and symptoms including fatigue, shortness of breath, hair loss and brittle nails may be linked to iron deficiency.
- The condition commonly affects women with heavy periods, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those recovering from surgery and women in perimenopause.
A burning sensation in the tongue may be a sign of iron deficiency, alongside persistent fatigue, low energy, shortness of breath, a faster heartbeat, hair loss and brittle nails.
Women often explain these symptoms through a demanding pace of life, stress or insufficient sleep. But a media statement cited by Delfi said iron deficiency may lie behind them.
The problem is especially common among women who have heavy menstrual periods, are pregnant or breastfeeding, are recovering from surgery or are going through perimenopause.
