    This study investigated anemia symptoms in individuals with normal hemoglobin but low ferritin levels.

The group with normal hemoglobin and low ferritin showed significantly higher rates of restless leg syndrome, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fatigue, as well as higher FSS scores, compared to those with normal hemoglobin and ferritin levels. No significant differences were found between the groups for symptoms like pica, itching, hair loss, palpitations, tinnitus, and angular cheilitis.
