I'm also iron deficient, not sure why probaly just not eatin the right foods, I seen a doctor about it and done my research and infact its true low iron can cause anxiety, its crazy but it's all to do with hormone balance I think, so therefore we will have to try to get our levels back up!xx

Some research I found:

Anxiety is a psychological issue that can stem from having low iron levels. If you have low iron levels, it could trigger panic symptoms, leading to a panic attack. Panic attack symptoms include feelings of dread, fear of dying, chest tightness, headache, fear of fainting, choking symptoms, muscle weakness, insomnia and visual disturbances.
