I recently had a blood test that confirmed my ferritin level was at 11, which I understand is very low. I would guess this is due to my diet not containing sufficient iron for the past 6 months or so. Leading up to my blood test I've experienced the following symptoms:

Unable to sprint - weakness in legs

Extended recovery time after gym sessions

Extreme weakness in my upper lip leading to difficulty eating, drinking and smiling

General weakness in facial muscles

Please could the good people of reddit let me know if these sound typical of anaemia? I'm somewhat worried that this may be the start of some sort of degenerative muscular disease like MD, but I don't want to overreact. Thanks in advance
