Yes, if I become breathless and get heart palpitations, I always know I'm iron deficient and go for a test :-)

symptoms of folate deficiency overlap with symptoms of B12 deficiency as both are used together for a number of key processes - including production of healthy red blood cells - deficiencie in either can cause macrocytic anaemia in which the red blood cells are larger and rounder than normal making them less efficient at transporting oxygen
